Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bed rails should only be used when directed by the nurse and care plan. This is because bed rails can pose a risk to patient safety if not used correctly or if the patient is left unattended while in bed. Bed rails are not necessary for all patients or residents and should be used on a case-by-case basis.
