Nurses should consider several features when selecting an adjustable bed for a patient:
Ease of Adjustment: The bed should be easy to adjust, preferably with a remote control or easy-to-use manual levers. Safety Features: Look for beds with side rails and emergency lowering mechanisms to ensure patient safety. Durability: The bed should be made of high-quality materials to withstand frequent adjustments and long-term use. Mattress Compatibility: Ensure that the mattress is compatible with the adjustable frame for optimal comfort and support.
