Bedfast persons should be repositioned at least every:

  1. 1 hour

  2. 2 hours

  3. 3 hours

  4. 4 hours

The correct answer is: 1 hour

Bedfast persons should be repositioned at least every 1 hour to help prevent pressure ulcers and muscle stiffness. Repositioning also allows for changes in posture and provides relief from constant pressure on certain areas of the body. While options B, C, and D may seem like reasonable time frames, they do not offer the same level of protection and care for bedfast persons as repositioning every 1 hour does. Waiting longer periods between repositioning increases the risk for bedsores or pressure ulcers to develop, which can be painful and difficult to heal. Therefore, regular repositioning every 1 hour is the best practice for ensuring the well-being of bedfast individuals.
