Bed making is an essential procedure in nursing in which nurses prepare and arrange different types of bed for the client's comfort in the hospital or other health care institutions. Bed making procedure ensures the patent's comfort according to the situations. It may vary on the client's conditions, purposes and procedures such as open bed, closed bed, occupied bed, cardiac bed, fracture bed, blanket bed etc.

Nurses have a major role in bed making procedure in hospital. So, a nurse should learn and follow the proper and standard techniques of bed making procedure.

Bed Making Procedure

Definition of bed making -

Bed making is a technique in which different types of beds are preparing to make a client or patient comfortable according to the situations and procedures.

Purposes of bed making -

1. To provide a safe and comfortable bed to the clients or patients.
2. To organize a specific ward.
3. To be prepared for any critical or emergency condition.
4. To prevent bedsores.
5. To promote neat appearance and cleanliness.
6. To teach the relatives to take care of the sick at home.

Principles of bed making at nursing -

1. Micro-organisms are present everywhere on the used articles, skin, clothing and environment. Prevent the spreading of micro-organisms from the contaminated source to the new host by taking precautions and preventing the multiplication of the micro-organisms.

Action -

• The nurse should wash her/his hands before and after the bed making procedure to prevent cross-infection.
• Bed linen and clothes must be changed frequently to ensure cleanliness.
• Do not drop the removed bed linen on the floor.
• Gently shake the linen to remove dust. Do not flap the bed clothing because it transfers dust and bacteria easily.
• Linen should be folded and held away from the nurses to prevent direct contact with dust and micro-organisms.
• Daily cleaning and dusting of beds and units will keep them free from dust and micro-organisms. Soap, water, air and sunshine will help them to be clean.
• Damp dusting is recommended because dry dusting raises dust.
• Nurse should maintain a necessary distance from patients to prevent droplet infection.
• Clean the less contaminated area first and then the clean high contaminated area to minimize the spreading of micro-organisms to the clean area.
• Linens should be disinfected before sending them to the laundry.
• Nurses who having respiratory infection should not attend to the clients.

2. A protected and comfortable bed will provide rest, sleep and avoid many complications of bedridden clients e.g. bedsore, foot drop etc.

Action -

• Nurse should make a smooth and unwrinkled bed because a wrinkled bed exerts pressure on bony prominence and lumps. The wrinkles cause bedsore due to friction between skin and wrinkled sheets.
• Pull the bottom sheet tightly to avoid wrinkles.
• Tuck the linen far enough and tightly to keep it fixed.
• Smooth the mattress, if there is a collection of cotton in one place before making a bed.
• Do not keep any wet linen on the bed.
• Daily dusting should be done to remove any peeling or seeds that are adhered to the bed linen of a bedridden client.
• A bed should have enough space to move from side to side. The movements prevent bedsore, stimulate blood circulation and maintain muscle tone.
• Use comfort devices to provide additional comfort to the client.

3. Good body mechanisms maintain body alignment and prevents fatigue.

Action -

• The stability of the body is assured by keeping the centre of gravity over its base. In the standing position, the nurse can have a wide base by separating his/her feet.
• The nearer to the centre of gravity a weight is held, the less is the strain produced. E.g. it is more suitable to place the linen on the edge of the bed instead of holding it above the shoulder level.
• Flex the knees and hips when tucking the sheet under the mattress. This position shifts the work to the long and strong muscle of the thigh and keeps the back in good alignment.
• When placing and tucking the linen, face the direction of the work and move with the work rather than twisting the body and overreaching.

4. Planned and organised ways of working saves energy, time and equipment.

Action -

• Collect and arrange all the articles before starting the bed making procedure.
• At the first finish on one side of the bed making and then go to the opposite side.
• Remove the bed linen one by one holding the open end towards the floor when stripping the bed so that the client's possessions and the hospital articles are not sent to the laundry.
• The bed sheets are folded in such a way that they can be replaced easily.

General instructions for bed making in hospital -

• Wash hands properly before and after the procedure.
• Do not expose the client unnecessarily.
• Do not keep clean linen with soiled linen.
• Do not place the woollen blanket directly to the client's body without the bath blanket.
• Always ensure that the client should not lie down on the Macintosh without lining.
• Shake the linen gently.
• Maintain a distance so that the linen should not touch your body or uniform.
• Always maintain good body mechanics so as prevent extra workload.
• Make the bed comfortable, smooth and unwrinkled.
• To prevent the cross-infection maintain reasonable distance with the patient.
