Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, E
When making an occupied bed the nurse will remove the spread and blanket separately. The bath blanket is placed over the patient on the top sheet and the patient is positioned to the far side of the bed. Soiled linen is placed in the laundry bin, not at the end of the bed. The mattress is slid to the top of the bed.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The entire bed is tilted downward with the foot of the bed down when placing a patient in the reverse Trendelenburg position.
