What must be done with the drinking water pitchers and glasses provided to bed-confined residents?

Changed daily and sanitized weekly
Changed frequently during the day and sanitized daily
Replaced with disposable items daily
Sanitized monthly

The correct answer is: Changed frequently during the day and sanitized daily

Drinking water pitchers and glasses must be frequently changed throughout the day because bed-confined residents may not be able to easily access drinking water as they are confined to their beds. It is important to provide fresh, clean water to prevent dehydration and to maintain proper hygiene. Sanitizing daily helps to prevent the spread of germs and bacteria. Option A is not as frequent as option B and may lead to an increased risk of contamination. Option C is not necessary as reusable pitchers and glasses can be properly sanitized, reducing waste. Option D is not frequent enough and may result in contamination and unsafe drinking water for residents. Therefore, option B is the best choice for maintaining a clean and safe drinking environment for bed-confined residents.
