In this segment of the video, the key actions include making the bed by ensuring the fitted sheet’s seams are against the mattress and not touching the resident. The video mentions using a lift sheet that is a different color and folded in half to go from the shoulders of the resident and be smooth to avoid pressure areas. The waterproof side of a poker pad should be placed down on top of the lift sheet. Additionally, smoothing out the flat sheet and checking for the center fold to ensure proper coverage for the resident when in bed is highlighted.

In this segment of the video, the presenter demonstrates how to create a mitered corner on a bed sheet to keep it in place without restricting movement for residents. The process involves tucking the sheet tightly under the foot of the bed, forming a triangle at the corner, smoothing it out, and repeating on the other side. Then, they discuss placing the flat sheet, a bedspread or blanket (without a mitered corner), and positioning the pillow with its open end away from the door for infection control. Finally, they emphasize not letting linens touch the floor for hygiene, ensuring the bed is still locked, placing the call light in the middle of the bed, and disposing of dirty linens properly while washing hands.
