What should you do after making a closed bed?

After making a closed bed, attaching the call light to the bed is an important task because it ensures that the resident can easily reach the call light when they need assistance. This promotes safety and enhances the resident's ability to communicate their needs effectively, which is crucial in a healthcare setting.

Making a closed bed involves ensuring that the bed linens are neat and tidy, typically preparing the bed for a new patient or after the patient has been discharged. By confirming that the call light is within reach, you contribute to an environment where residents feel secure and supported in seeking help. Providing accessibility to the call light is a fundamental aspect of patient care, as it allows for a quick response to the resident's needs, fostering their comfort and safety.

This attention to detail is a key part of the CNA's responsibilities, emphasizing the role of the caregiver in promoting the well-being of residents.
