The NAP should create an "open" bed.The housekeeping department is almost always responsible for cleaning the room between patients.The nurse is responsible for hooking up and checking special equipment such as suction.The nurse would need to tell the NAP whether the patient is to be admitted ambulatory,by wheelchair,or by stretcher in order to know whether to position the bed high or low.
