BASIC FUNCTIONS AND USES OF NURSING HOME BEDS
Modern nursing home beds have numerous bedding functions, which are described in
home bed can only be achieved through careful training of the users and inhabitants of
a nursing home. Please repeat these training sessions as regularly as possible and pay
particular attention to the necessary safety regulations that must be observed.
In general there is always a risk of unintended or wrong adjustment of the bed.
For example, pressing switches accidentally or unintended release of func-
tions can be a hazard to certain patients/residents! To ensure a high degree
of protection, it is absolutely essential to use locking facilities and/or the
release keys selectively. Under no circumstances may release keys remain on
the handset or on the bed! Release keys are intended exclusively for use by
nursing staff.
The use of the locking facilities and if required, the intentional separation of
the bed from the power supply – as an absolute locking measure for the ma-
ximum protection of a possibly jeopardised patient/resident– lies exclusively
at the discretion of and in the responsibility of the medical supervision and
nursing staff in charge. Corresponding measures should be noted in the shift
report to guarantee a correct shift handover.
The use of special positions, such as Trendelenburg anti-Trendelenburg, la-
yered bedding or relative lowered head position as a shock position is expli-
citly allowed only by medical supervision staff. These functions must be lo-
cked for patients and residents, since this could otherwise result in hazards.
