ETHER BED

The nurse is first shown in the correct procedure of stripping the bed of its blankets, pillows, etc., and folding them. The mattress is turned and the bed remade—mattress pad placed, bottom sheet spread, then the rubber and cotton draw sheets. The rubber protector is placed at the head, the blankets are put on and turned down. Paper bag and mouth wipes are pinned to the bed, and towel and other articles are placed on a chair beside the bed.
