SECTION 1: SAFETY AND INFECTION CONTROL

A) Keep the bed in the lowest position
B) Apply wrist restraints
C) Place the call light within reach
D) Ensure the client wears nonskid footwear

Answer: A, C, D
Rationale: Keeping the bed in the lowest position reduces injury risk if the client falls. Placing
the call light within reach allows the client to call for assistance. Nonskid footwear prevents

prevention measure. Raising all four side rails (E) is considered a restraint in many facilities and
