I’m leaning towards ensuring the client is at the side of the bed, but I could be mixing it up with another scenario.

I think the priority might be ensuring the bed is locked, but I'm not completely sure. It seems like a safety measure.

Locking the bed is definitely the top priority. Can't do anything else until that's taken care of first.

The priority should be making sure the client is at the side of the bed. That's the best way to safely transfer them and provide care.

Hmm, I'm not sure - removing the pillows or sheets could also be important for proper positioning and comfort. I'll have to think this through carefully.
