Explanation
Occupied bed making protects safety and dignity: raise bed to working height (ergonomics), keep one rail up to prevent falls, drape the resident with a bath blanket (privacy/warmth), turn the resident to the far side, roll/fan-fold soiled linen, place and tuck clean linen, then roll resident over the linen ridge to the clean side. Lowering both rails (b), forceful pulling (c), and climbing on bed (d) are unsafe.
