The art of having a well made patient bed in an ER, ICU or
Hospital setting. This helps to
facilitate patient positioning during portable radiologic exams. These exams require a plate to be placed between
the patient and the bedding behind them and is made easier by proper bedmanship.
The RN had great bedmanship,
the patient had a clean fitted sheet with 2
overlapping chucks positioned underneath them
from the top of the shoulder extending below the pelvis.
The RN has bad bedmanship, the sheet was soaking wet and coming off the bed. The patient was stuck to the mattress with no chuck to prevent chaffing or bruising.
