old the remaining blanket in place with one hand,
while with the other you draw the upper sheet out from under it; then
fold the edges of the blanket up over the patient to keep them out of
the way. The upper sheet, unless soiled, may be folded once and used
again as a draw sheet. Next remove all the pillows, unless the patient
prefers to keep one. Then move the patient toward one side of the bed
and turn him on his side so that he faces the edge nearest him. Roll the
draw sheet and rubber sheet together if both are to be removed, or
separately if the rubber sheet is to remain on the bed; then roll the
bottom sheet throughout its entire length, and bring the three sheets,
all rolled as flat and as tightly as possible, close to the patient's
back. Pleat about half of the fresh lower sheet lengthwise and place the
pleated portion as close as possible to the rolled soiled sheets. Tuck
in the other half of the fresh sheet at the top, bottom and side, draw
the rubber sheet if it is to be replaced back over the fresh lower
sheet, arrange the fresh draw sheet in place, tuck it in at the side,
and roll its free portion close to the patient's back. The fresh side of
the bed is then ready for the patient. Lift his feet back over the
rolled sheets keeping his knees flexed, then turn him back over the
rolled sheets on to the fresh smooth part, remove the soiled sheets and
arrange the fresh ones in place on the side where the patient has just
been lying. Be careful to keep him well covered with the blanket. After
the lower sheets are in place and firmly tucked in, spread above the
blanket the fresh upper sheet, and over the sheet spread the second
blanket. Hold the sheet and blanket in place with one hand while using
the other hand to draw out the first blanket from beneath the sheet. In
this way the patient is constantly covered by a blanket. Place the
blanket just removed above the other and finish the bed according to the
directions given for an unoccupied bed, using special care, however not
to draw the covers too tightly over the patient's feet.

TO MOVE A PATIENT FROM ONE BED TO ANOTHER.--On the fresh bed have the
lower sheets in place but not the upper covers. Place the two beds close
together side by side, and draw one mattress a little over the place
where the two sides meet. Loosen the draw
