Posey Bed 8060 29

Introduction

“Quick-Check 10”

Before leaving a patient alone, WALK AROUND THE BED

to be sure that each condition is met.

Exterior: Area around the bed is clear of any tripping hazards.

Interior: Clean and free of clutter and hazards.

Mattress (At-risk patients not able to reposition themselves): To avoid entrapment, keep

the head of the bed ﬂat and use a cushion to elevate the torso if necessary. If the head of

the bed is raised, use gap ﬁller cushions.

Compartments: Zipped completely closed with no gaps or kinks in the entire length of the

zipper. Test by applying pressure along the entire length of the zipper.

Zippers and quick-release buckles: Securely closed.

Drainage/tube port: if tubing and tube port is in use, all ﬂuids are ﬂowing freely; if tubing

is not in use, port is zipped closed.

Frame Condition: Canopy, panel, and netting have no tears, holes or abrasions. Frame is

ﬁrmly attached to the bed platform, undamaged, and fully padded. Top rail is in the highest

position.

Bed height: Bed platform should not be raised above 25” (64 cm) or lowered below 16”

(41 cm). Lower bed to 16” (41 cm) when patient is alone.

Side rails: ALWAYS ensure all side rails (if available) are in the fully down position.

Casters: all hospital bed casters (if available) are locked.

A. Nurse Call Button: If the patient’s care plan allows it, the nurse call button is placed

within reach of the patient.

B. Monitoring (Home Use): Caregiver should sleep in the same room or use a device, such

as a child monitoring system for constant montoring.
