Which pressure-reduction devices are bars that go over the bottom of the bed and above the patient’s legs to protect the legs, feet, and toes from the pressure of the linens?

Answer
A
heel and elbow elevators
B
special beds
C
special pads
D
bed cradles

Explanation

Bed cradles are bars placed over the lower part of the bed to hold the linens above the patient’s legs, feet, and toes. This reduces pressure and friction from the bedding. Heel and elbow elevators support specific body areas, while special beds and pads use other methods to reduce pressure.
