A _____ bed is made so that it can easily accept residents who must return to bed on stretchers or gurneys.

  1. Closed

  2. Surgical

  3. Occupied

  4. Open

The correct answer is: Closed

A closed bed is a type of bed commonly found in healthcare facilities, where the bed is fully made with sheets, blankets, and pillows. This type of bed is designed to make it easier to transfer patients onto the bed, including those who may need to be transferred from a stretcher or gurney. Option B, surgical bed, is designed for surgical procedures and is not necessarily made to accommodate stretcher or gurney transfers. Option C, occupied bed, has a patient already in it and would not be suitable for new patients requiring stretcher or gurney transfers. Option D, open bed, is not fully made and would not be appropriate for patients needing stretcher or gurney transfers.
