When making an occupied bed,which of the following is most important for the nurse to do?

A) Keep the bed in the low position.
B) Keep the siderail raised on both sides of the bed.
C) Move back and forth between the sides of the bed when adjusting linens.
D) Use a bath blanket or sheet to maintain patient warmth and privacy.

Use a bath blanket or sheet to maintain patient warmth and privacy. When making an occupied bed,the nurse should cover the patient with a bath blanket,if available,or leave the top sheet over the patient.Covering the patient prevents chilling and preserves modesty.Keeping the bed in the low position and working over raised siderails may strain the nurse's back.Continually moving from side to side is disorganized and time consuming.
