But, please, wipe front to back to avoid a UTI!
Yes! You are soooo right and thanks for catching it - in the heat of trying to remember every detail, the point didn’t get made. And here are a couple of other things we missed… Do change your gloves more often and before touching other areas of the patient or surroundings. Many have pointed out that the bed is not raised. Yes - please aways raise the bed to your waist level to save your own back during the care. We didn’t because we needed that angle of the camera to show the process. We also didn’t use rails for the same reason - they blocked the view of the process. And one more - we didn’t tie our hair back because we are vain and wanted to look good in the video - hahah. Don’t forget to do that in real life.We appreciate all of the comments from you experienced and skilled caregivers. It doesn’t matter how much experience one has, there is always more to learn. Please send in more comments and questions so we can address and make more videos.
