In a closed bed, which action is associated with the bedspread?

• A. Pull bedspread over pillow and tuck under lower edge of pillow
• B. Make toe pleat
• C. Unfold top linen over blanket
• D. Remove the bedspread from the bed

Answer: (B)

In a closed bed, the bedspread should be arranged to keep the bed neat while allowing space for the resident’s toes. Making a toe pleat accomplishes this by creating a small, folded tuck at the foot of the bed. This pleat gives room for the feet to move without the bedspread pulling up over them, helping both comfort and a tidy appearance. The other actions either cover the head area in a way that doesn’t address foot space, or involve removing the bedspread, which defeats the purpose of a closed bed.
