How should you leave the bed if you have made the bed for an independent patient?

  1. At the lowest height setting

  2. With the side rails up

  3. In a sitting height

  4. With the head of the bed flat

The correct answer is: At the lowest height setting

When making a bed for an independent patient, it is important to leave the bed at the lowest height setting for their safety and ease of access. Leaving the bed at a higher height may increase the risk of injury if the patient were to fall or attempt to get out of bed. This also allows the patient to easily get in and out of bed without assistance. This is why options B, C, and D are incorrect.
