Scenario 3: Unoccupied bed making with infection control focus

Unoccupied bed making with infection control focus
In a healthcare facility, you are assigned to make an unoccupied bed in a residence room that was recently discharged. The room needs thorough cleaning and disinfection to prepare it for the next resident. Before making the bed, ensure proper hand washing and wear appropriate personal protective equipment to prevent infection. During the bed making process, be attentive to detail, ensuring that all linens are clean, and the bed frame is disinfected. Practice the principles of infection control and demonstrate appropriate disposal of used linens and waste. Note: follow facility protocol to determine what cleaning is for housekeeping and what is the responsibility of the nurse aide.
