How high above the bed way must the Slide Clearance Zone be for the entire bed way?

1. 48 inches

2. 60 inches

3. 72 inches

4. 54 inches

The correct answer is: 60 inches

A The Slide Clearance Zone refers to the open space above the bed way in which a patient transfer device can be used. At 48 inches, the space may not be large enough to accommodate the use of most patient transfer devices. B: This is the most appropriate option as it allows for ample space above the bed way for a patient transfer device to be used effectively. C: While 72 inches may seem like a safe choice, it may actually be excessive and unnecessarily limit the height of any storage or lighting fixtures above the bed. D: At 54 inches, the Slide Clearance Zone may still not be sufficient for certain larger patient transfer devices, and may also hinder the placement of any storage or lighting fixtures above the bed.
