To use a long term care (LTC) bed, adjust its height using the control panel for easy patient transfer and alignment with a wheelchair, position the bed in a safe area away from walls, and always ensure the bed's wheels are locked to prevent movement. Activate side rails as needed for fall prevention, place safety features like call buttons and mats within reach, and monitor the bed's components, such as the mattress and controls, for proper function and safety.

Adjusting the Bed for Patient Needs

Find the Control Panel: Locate the hand control or panel buttons, which may be attached to the bed or the side rail. 

Raise and Lower the Bed: Use the control panel buttons to adjust the overall height of the bed. 

Adjust Head and Foot: Use the appropriate buttons on the control panel to raise or lower the head and foot sections of the bed to a comfortable and supportive position. 

Align with Wheelchair: Adjust the bed's height to align with a wheelchair for safe transfers. 

Ensuring Bed Safety and Security

Lock Wheels: Always lock the bed's wheels to prevent any accidental movement. 

Position Bed Safely: Keep the bed away from walls to allow access to all sides and ensure the patient has enough space. 

Use Bed Rails: Raise the side rails to prevent falls, especially when the bed is in a higher position. Ensure the mattress fits properly with the rails to prevent entrapment. 

Provide Call Button: Place a call bell or telephone within easy reach so the person can call for help. 

Use Safety Mats: If a patient is at high risk of falling, place floor mats next to the bed. 

Maintenance and Monitoring

1. Check Controls:

Test the bed's hand and panel controls to ensure they are working correctly. 

2. Monitor Patient:

Frequently check the patient for comfort, pain, and the need to get out of bed. 

3. Address Pressure Ulcers:

Frequently reposition the patient and ensure the skin remains clean and dry to help prevent pressure sores. 

4. Check for Damage:

Inspect the bed's mattress, rails, and control panel covering for any cracks or damage.
