Discuss procedures of making the following types of beds?? a. ) post-operative bed?? b.) fracture bed?? c.) cardiac bed??

a.) Post-operative bed:
1. Start by ensuring the bed is at the correct height for the patient to easily get in and out of bed.
2. Place clean, fresh linens on the bed, including a fitted sheet, flat sheet, and pillowcase.
3. Position the bed in the lowest position to prevent falls.
4. Place a waterproof mattress protector on the bed to protect the mattress from any bodily fluids.
5. Ensure the head of the bed is elevated at a 30-45 degree angle to promote proper breathing and circulation.
6. Place any necessary medical equipment within reach of the patient, such as a call bell or IV pole.
7. Ensure the bed rails are up if the patient is at risk of falling.
8. Make sure the patient is comfortable and has everything they need within reach.

b.) Fracture bed:
1. Start by ensuring the bed is at the correct height for the patient to easily get in and out of bed.
2. Place clean, fresh linens on the bed, including a fitted sheet, flat sheet, and pillowcase.
3. Use a bed board or firm mattress to provide extra support for the patient's body.
4. Elevate the foot of the bed slightly to reduce pressure on the fracture site.
5. Place pillows or cushions around the fracture site to provide support and prevent movement.
6. Ensure the patient has any necessary assistive devices, such as a walker or crutches, within reach.
7. Make sure the patient is comfortable and has everything they need within reach.

c.) Cardiac bed:
1. Start by ensuring the bed is at the correct height for the patient to easily get in and out of bed.
2. Place clean, fresh linens on the bed, including a fitted sheet, flat sheet, and pillowcase.
3. Elevate the head of the bed at a 30-45 degree angle to reduce the workload on the heart and improve breathing.
4. Place pillows under the patient's knees to reduce strain on the heart and improve circulation.
5. Ensure the patient has any necessary medications or medical equipment within reach.
6. Monitor the patient's vital signs regularly and adjust the bed position as needed.
7. Make sure the patient is comfortable and has everything they need within reach.

a.) Post-Operative Bed

Materials:

- Clean linen (sheets, blankets, pillowcase)
- Protective pads
- Pillows
- Side rails (if necessary)
- Call bell
- Tissues
- Emesis basin

Procedure:

1. Prepare the Linens:
- Unfold clean linen and place a waterproof pad on the mattress.
2. Make the Bottom Sheet:
- Center the sheet over the mattress and tuck it under the edges on all four sides.
3. Place the Protective Pads:
- Position absorbent pads under the patient's buttocks and under the surgical incision site.
4. Make the Top Sheet:
- Center the top sheet over the bottom sheet and tuck it in at the bottom.
5. Fold the Blankets:
- Fold a blanket in half lengthwise and place it on the bed.
- Fold another blanket and place it over the first.
6. Make the Pillowcase:
- Cover the pillow with a clean pillowcase.
7. Position Pillows:
- Place pillows to support the patient's head, arms, and legs as needed for comfort and positioning.
8. Raise Side Rails:
- If necessary, raise side rails for safety.
9. Place Call Bell and Emesis Basin:
- Position a call bell within easy reach of the patient.
- Place an emesis basin on the bedside table.

b.) Fracture Bed

Materials:

- Clean linen (sheets, blankets, pillowcase)
- Traction bars or frame
- Ropes
- Weights
- Traction straps
- Pillows
- Side rails (if necessary)

Procedure:

1. Prepare the Linens:
- Follow the steps for making a post-operative bed.
2. Attach Traction Devices:
- Position the traction bars or frame at the foot of the bed.
- Run ropes through the pulleys and attach weights to the ropes.
3. Secure the Patient:
- Pad the ropes with traction straps and secure them around the patient's injured limb.
4. Position Pillows:
- Place pillows around the patient's body to support injured limbs and prevent pressure sores.
5. Raise Side Rails:
- If necessary, raise side rails for safety.

c.) Cardiac Bed

Materials:

- Clean linen (sheets, blankets, pillowcase)
- Cardiac monitor
- Oxygen tank
- Suction machine
- Medications
- Call bell
- Tissues
- Emesis basin

Procedure:

1. Prepare the Linens:
- Follow the steps for making a post-operative bed.
2. Position the Cardiac Monitor:
- Place the cardiac monitor on the bedside table or wall.
3. Connect Oxygen and Suction:
- Connect the oxygen tank to the oxygen flowmeter and nasal cannula.
- Connect the suction machine to the suction tubing and Yankauer suction tip.
4. Place Medications:
- Keep essential cardiac medications within easy reach of the patient.
5. Place Call Bell and Emesis Basin:
- Position a call bell and emesis basin on the bedside table within reach of the patient.
