When we did our clinicals for LPN at a local hospital I was assigned ADL’s for a patient with Huntington’s Chorea. She suffered with permanent full body tremors. I arrived to find her bed in a wide V shaped position and she was covered clear over her abdomen with very watery diarrhea. We were told to work alone and I was in clear over my head. I’ll never forget trying to change the bed for a patient covered in liquid feces with spastic movements from head to toe. She was only in her early 50’s. Her eyes were so sorrowful it broke my heart. I’ll never forget that interaction. Nursing is not an easy occupation. God bless you all. I’m retired.
if you are watching this video for learning purposes, then here are a few things to note: (I am a CNA in the subacute unit) when you are doing bed baths and or a shower, you take all of the pillows off first and take the pillowcases out and put the pillows in the patients cupboard while you get the rest of the bed ready, usually the CNA is going to take the patient to the shower room, and the LVN will stay back to change the bed and put the pillowcases on, but when you are doing a bed bath and you have your partner with you to do it then they can multitask and do the linen preparation while you’re scrubbing the patient down. another thing to note, when you are putting the new linens on, you should be putting a diaper in and making sure you were not putting the gown over their bottom if they’re incontinent because you can risk getting BM on their clean gown, you also should be putting chucks on the bed while you were putting the linens on as well and you would be taking out dirty chucks from the bed when you are throwing your linen in the cart so keep that in mind as you can’t just take it all and shove it in one bag, you have to sort the linen from the trash. Lots of things are different in real life with nursing, so just try to think of practicality. Hopefully this helps! If you have any questions, you can ask away!
@@carrielo1601I'm sorry I don't mean to just chime in but I think chucks are the sheet pads we put under the patient so that if they were to wet themselves it won't leave such a big mess on the bed sheet? Please correct me if I'm wrong.
@shelrichh can you tell me how to do this for a senior with a hip surgery? My grandma is 85, in pain and has been home for a week, discharged 3 days after surgery
Me too and yesterday was my first day at work. I am 4’11 & 130 lbs. I’m working with total care patients whom are connected to Oxygen and ventilators. It’s the worst. I love it but it’s so hard moving them and rolling them over for a change
@@alittleaboutawholelot4632me too! im a tech , this is my first job and im coming in with no experience, on the job training is beating my ass. these videos are damn near all i have
How come these demonstration videos never show real, 200+ lb patients who have no muscle tone and are terrified of being rolled and resist you at every step? It’s always using dainty little mannequins or young, fit people playing the patients.
why only one person is pulling the patient? This violates the whole point of requiring two person for this procedure, the other guy totally did not help holding and pushing the patient and straightly go for the linen, and this is a critical point for patient safety!!!!!!!!
This video is laughable. You’re using a synthetic dummy as your patient, you’ll find that real people move more and some are heavier. It needs to be more realistic to be helpful. I’ve been a nurse for over 25 years and I’d never use a dummy in a demo.
you should perform this alone- 2 makes it easy and this video is useless do this while you are alone with a patient that's on the heavier side that is fighting you or refuse to assist-

Would you suggest putting the diaper on the pt at the same time as the linen change or before? Also, what are chucks? Thanks!

@@carrielo1601 I also think that the chucks is just another name for the incontinence sheet.

This is very helpful.
My patient is a 240 lbs male, and I’m by myself. I’m a PCA. This is not easy work.
Thank you for posting this. I’m using it to review.
I wish it was that easy to move a patient
Can I tell you I really wish so for real
Thank you this helped me with my grandma
Awesome. I’m my mother’s caretaker and this has REALLY helped me.
hi Im a new nurse and I have no CNA experience. thank you

Literally me here with my nursing clinicals😂
You NEED CNA experience to be a nurse today
Thank you for this . .
Why using the same glove for dirty and clean linen?
Good question 👍
Good question I was wondering the same thing.
that's why we need to rolled it
Great tips
Wonderful video, thanks! To avoid contaminating my scrubs, I'd use a disposable apron.
Thank u for teaching now I learn
Thank you 😊
Thank you for this ❤
Of course, glad to help
Thank you.
That was really helpful
Thank you so much kolega
Wear a disposable apron while changing
When do you change the bed linens? Before or after you clean up the patient? This, among other things in this video, are not clear.
After you clean them up i believe

Useful video. But I would change gloves and wash hands before touching and putting on pillowcase
It's a useful video
why only one person is pulling the patient? This violates the whole point of requiring two person for this procedure, the other guy totally did not help holding and pushing the patient and straightly go for the linen, and this is a critical point for patient safety!!!!!!!!
Two ppl verses one
It’s rare to have 2 people available to do this
Do this with real 200 lbs deadlift patients.
I though you are not supposed to touch clean sheets to dirty
You forgot the diaper! How do we keep patient from screaming 😱
Brief
That looks like a doll toy
Side-rails? What's happening here? This is a huge fall safety violation....

Looks easy with a big doll. Try doing it alone with a human that can’t breath while they are on their side. 😢
What if the patient is real and in pain.
you should perform this alone- 2 makes it easy and this video is useless do this while you are alone with a patient that's on the heavier side that is fighting you or refuse to assist-
