Spanish term or phrase: pasa a la cama
Se trata de un informe médico de un paciente hospitalizado con daño neurológico por intoxicación con mercurio y neumonía adquirida en la comunidad. En el plan de tratamiento dice: Dieta por gastrostomía y "pasa a cama hoy".
Yo entiendo que sale de la UCI, pero, ¿como expresarlo en Ingles?.
¡¡Muchas gracias!!

he moves to a bed
Explanation:
I have also heard "moves to a room" but not often. I my "olden days" patients were "moved to a ward". (Don't use that).

Asker: Thanks Robert! I like your answer and I´m now thinking that it might be better to say the patient "is moved to a bed", what do you think?
