1. I should wipe off the over-the-bed table with disinfectant if a urinal or any other contaminated item has been on it.
2. To avoid contamination, I should never open any containermilk cartons, juice containers, or cellophane packaging for plastic utensilson the tray.
3. I should make rounds to my patients' rooms during mealtimes and ask if they have any needs.
4. I should ensure that each meal tray is assessed for the correct diet and appropriate temperature of food.
