Answer to Question 2

C
A limitation of this bed is the lack of pressure reduction or relief in the mattress. The at-risk obese patient needs to have some type of pressure redistribution mattress placed on the bariatric bed. The bariatric bed possesses an in-bed scale that provides the nurse with a means of obtaining accurate weights and thus improves health care and patient dignity. The bed is slightly wider than a standard hospital bed, yet it is within the guidelines for standard door width, allowing movement into and out of a room without difficulty. A full- or double-wide bariatric bed can accommodate a patient up to 1000 lb. However, when using a full- or double-wide bariatric bed, you must assemble it in the patient's room and must not use it for transfers, because this bed is too large to fit through standard hospital doorways. Because the bariatric bed is capable of supporting weights up to 850 pounds, it provides a stable, balanced surface that limits hospital liability should the standard bed frame collapse or the electric motor burn out.
