Patient Comfort Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is working with a client in an extended care facility. Which bed position is preferred for a client, who is at risk for falls, as part of a prevention protocol?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Bed in lowest position, wheels locked, against the wall is preferred for fall prevention. Low height minimizes injury risk, locked wheels ensure stability, and wall placement reduces access points. Four rails are a restraint, not prevention. Lower rails or bent knees don't optimize safety. D follows safety protocols, reducing fall risk, making it the best position.
