What does a geriatric chair help prevent for mostly bedbound residents?

  1. Bed sores

  2. Fluid retention

  3. Incontinence

  4. Need to stay in bed all day

The correct answer is: Need to stay in bed all day

A geriatric chair helps prevent the need for bedbound residents to stay in bed all day by providing them with the option to sit up and move around in a comfortable and supportive chair. This can help improve circulation, prevent muscle weakness, and enhance overall quality of life for residents who are predominantly in a bedbound state. While options A, B, and C are important considerations for bedbound residents, the primary purpose of a geriatric chair is to reduce the need for them to remain in bed for extended periods of time.
