What would you do when you found the patient's ring or dentures under the pillow while you were changing the bed linen?

If I found a patient's ring or dentures under the pillow while changing the bed linen, I would first ensure that the items are clean and undamaged. Then, I would document the discovery in the patient's records and notify the appropriate staff, such as the nurse or charge nurse, to ensure the items are returned to the patient safely. It's important to maintain patient privacy and follow facility protocols for lost personal items.
