During peri care for a female resident, which action is performed last?

• A. WASH HANDS after procedure.
• B. GLOVE OFF.
• C. Bed in low position.
• D. Signaling device in reach.

Answer: (C)

The final action focuses on safety after completing peri care. Lowering the bed to the lowest position helps prevent falls or injury if the resident tries to move or get up after you’ve finished and step away. This is the last safety check you perform before leaving the room, even though you’ve already made sure the signaling device is within reach and completed hand hygiene and glove removal. Placing the bed in the lowest position completes the safety wrap-up of the procedure.
