lift sheet is not always synon. with draw sheet...the draw sheet covers the part of the lower sheet most commonly soiled, allowing it to be changed instead of the whole bed. A lift sheet is by def. used to lift...and with sturdy cloth incontinent pads, prob. not nec...However, if used, the incontinent pad, again by def., goes on last.
If put under the lift sheet, it will wick the urine to the whole bed (potentially). It really drives me crazy when i see this, a waste of time and laundry.
Actually, I saw a few videos on youtube.com. But can't access them at work. I have great CNA's, but if they are set in their ways about something, it is very difficult to have them try anything different. This argument turned in to a screaming match and is still going on. The DON should have put a stop to it right away , but she didn't.

Hi,
Does anyone have a skill checklist for bed making? Proper order and such. We are thinking of hiring a bedmaker at our facility, and as we were discussing this, a whole big "disagreement" started about where the drawer sheet goes in relation to the pad?
Some where saying the pad goes under the drawer sheet? I have never seen or heard this. We always put it on top of the drawer sheet.
Any one know? Have something I can print out??
Thanks a bunch
