What is the name of the small sheet used to help move clients up in bed?

The correct answer is a draw sheet. A draw sheet is a small, often waterproof sheet placed across the middle of the bed, typically under the patient's torso. Its primary purpose is to assist caregivers in moving or repositioning clients safely and comfortably without causing strain or injury to either the caregiver or the client.

Using a draw sheet can help facilitate smoother movements, such as lifting a patient up in bed or turning them onto their side. It can prevent skin shearing and help maintain patient dignity and comfort during these movements. In contrast, other types of sheets have different uses: a bedspread is mainly for covering the bed for aesthetic purposes, a fitted sheet covers the mattress snugly and stays in place, and a flat sheet usually serves as a top cover or for tucking in around the patient without the specific functional intent of facilitating movement.
