To make a drawsheet:
- Fold a sheet in half lengthwise.
- Place the sheet on top of the fitted bottom sheet so that the top and bottom of the drawsheet go across the bed (perpendicular to the bed). Position the drawsheet so that it will be between your loved one's head and knees.
- Tuck in the drawsheet tightly on both sides.
What is the draw sheet method?
A draw sheet is a small bed sheet placed crosswise over the middle of the bottom sheet of a mattress to cover the area between the person's upper back and thighs, often used by medical professionals to move patients. ... It can be used in place of a mattress pad if a rubber mattress is used.
How do you draw a sheet with one person?
Roll the patient to one side, then place a half rolled-up slide sheet or draw sheet against the person's back. Roll the patient onto the sheet and spread the sheet out flat under the person. Make sure the head, shoulders, and hips are on the sheet.
