ANS: D
Raising the bed to a working height is the first step before beginning the procedure. Proper positioning of equipment prevents provider discomfort and reduces the chance of possible injury. Then lower the side rails as appropriate and safe, and ensure that the bed wheels are locked. Then you can have the patient position his/her arms and/or grasp the draw sheet.
