BRP stands for which of the following?

BRP stands for which of the following?

• A. Bedside privileges
• B. Bathroom privileges
• C. Bedside commode
• D. Bathroom policy

Answer: (B)

Bathroom Privileges means the patient is allowed to use the bathroom, usually with assistance or supervision, rather than staying in bed. This designation guides the care plan: it tells you when it’s appropriate to help the patient ambulate to the bathroom, what equipment might be needed (grab bars, a walker, a portable commode), and to have a call light ready for assistance. It also helps prevent falls by ensuring support is available during toileting and that toileting is addressed promptly. If a patient doesn’t have BRP, you’d rely on in-bed toileting options (like a bedpan) and follow the nurse’s instructions for safety and assistance.
