Tip... Make sure the caregiver giving the bedbath changes gloves between giving the bath and putting on new clothing. There might be fecal matter, etc on the gloves...
Good idea but again it kind of depends how much stool there was... perhaps none?

There are many options. Basically any chair that is supportive and water repellent can work. You can use a plastic outdoor chair, a purchased shower chair with a back, and those usually have adjustable legs to make them taller or shorter, depending on the patient’s height, a plastic garden bench, and even the commode that you might be using for toileting. Take the bucket out and when the patient sits on it, you could even provide the Peri care easily. Best wishes. Visit our website www.thecareplan.net for lots more info.

Why we clean the client feet w soapy water and then clean her back and her perineal after. Do we need to change the water after we clean her feet? Im so concerning about the cleanliness of the water. Thank you.
Use your own intuition! If the patient has not been in bed long and their feet are a mess and need real foot care soak them and take care of the feet separately. If they’ve been in bed for a while the feeder no dirtier than any other part of the body. Change your water between the groin area if there has been soiling and stool. But otherwise if you start from the cleanest and go to the dirtiest you don’t need to change the water very often. Good question. Visit our website that care plan.net for much more information and support. By the booklet it’s only seven dollars. Thanks for your good care!
That’s wonderful and thank you. Please visit our website: the care plan.net for more information and support. Please share these videos with your employer as they are used in many orientation programs. Thanks for your good caregiving.
I am noticing how nice this bed is. Can you provide the brand and where we can look into purchasing? My searches have not found any this nice. It is for home use for an elder. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much for your reply and comment but unfortunately I am unaware of the brand of bed. If you google: Celia's hospice house in Medford, Oregon, you can call and ask someone to ck on the make. They have been very generous in allowing us to use their facility to tape our bedcare videos.

Of course, but if you’re a hospice nurse, you will have done an assessment that includes a careful history of their physical problems and medication used. Please visit our website and I urge you to get a copy of our booklet that reviews all of the major symptoms that may occur and how to manage them often without medication. Care is treatment! Thanks for your comment and best wishes.
I certainly hope you have a professional team helping to take care of your mother. The hospice nurse will be checking oxygen level and suggesting adding oxygen if she is uncomfortable, lying flat and unable to accept care. Shortness of breath is best managed with very low-dose narcotics, and that would require the order from a doctor, please visit our website and get our booklet that will review the management of shortness of breath and other major symptoms that occur as a patient is declining. Care is treatment! Thank you for your comment and best wishes to you and your mother. She’s lucky to have you taking care of her.
sorry, I thought I replied already - make sure you have everything completely ready and bathe as much of her as you can in a sitting position. Sounds like she may need medications for shortness of breath. Give her a breathing treatment prior if she is on a nebulizer and of course where her O2 if she uses oxygen. Now you need to go to the website www.thecareplan.net and pick up our five dollar booklet which will review how to manage any major symptom that may arise . Care is treatment!

What brand and manufacture of blue nitrile gloves are you using in the following video on RUclips on your RUclips channel and what is the size of the blue nitrile gloves that you are using in the following video on RUclips on your RUclips channel?

Generally you need something that will have the patient increased their peristalsis. Sometimes scheduling a bisacodyl suppository twice a week can allow for complete evacuation. Santa is also a natural laxative that can be taken orally. Remember you have to address constipation from both the top and the bottom. Please go to our website www.thecareplan.net and read the patient and bowels. Thanks for your question.

In Hospice care we usually suggest 1-2 xs weekly depending on if the person is bedbound. Certainly if incontinent you would be doing peri-care regularly. Just think about yourself and how often you need to bathe depending on activity. Thanks for your response

Any tips for getting out of breath? The hospice aide tried the bed and my mom can’t lay flat or other positions.
She also doesn’t like her legs in bed
Of course, but if you’re a hospice nurse, you will have done an assessment that includes a careful history of their physical problems and medication used. Please visit our website and I urge you to get a copy of our booklet that reviews all of the major symptoms that may occur and how to manage them often without medication. Care is treatment! Thanks for your comment and best wishes.
I certainly hope you have a professional team helping to take care of your mother. The hospice nurse will be checking oxygen level and suggesting adding oxygen if she is uncomfortable, lying flat and unable to accept care. Shortness of breath is best managed with very low-dose narcotics, and that would require the order from a doctor, please visit our website and get our booklet that will review the management of shortness of breath and other major symptoms that occur as a patient is declining. Care is treatment! Thank you for your comment and best wishes to you and your mother. She’s lucky to have you taking care of her.
sorry, I thought I replied already - make sure you have everything completely ready and bathe as much of her as you can in a sitting position. Sounds like she may need medications for shortness of breath. Give her a breathing treatment prior if she is on a nebulizer and of course where her O2 if she uses oxygen. Now you need to go to the website www.thecareplan.net and pick up our five dollar booklet which will review how to manage any major symptom that may arise . Care is treatment! Best wishes and happy holidays. Thanks for sharing.

What do you use to get soft BM out?
Generally you need something that will have the patient increased their peristalsis. Sometimes scheduling a bisacodyl suppository twice a week can allow for complete evacuation. Santa is also a natural laxative that can be taken orally. Remember you have to address constipation from both the top and the bottom. Please go to our website www.thecareplan.net and read the patient and bowels. Thanks for your question.
@@TheHospiceCarePlan thank you all for taking out the time to educate us new to caregiving. Taking loads of weight physically and mentally for both me and my mom. I pray that God Almighty continue to bless you all.
Can you tell me where I can get peel and stick adult diapers?. I didn't even know they are available.
Any of the tabbed briefs similar to a diaper generally have Velcro type of closure tabs. I know you can order them from most big pharmacies and from Amazon. I don’t have a specific place in mind of course not knowing where you live either… Best wishes in your caregiving and please visit our website www.thecareplan.net. By our booklet it has all of the instructions for care as well as the best symptom management. Thanks for your good caregiving
If you have any type of certification where state observes you this is not the proper way to do a bed bath.
not sure what you mean, I've been a nurse for 47 years and bathe patients regularly. There are many right ways to provide care. Glad you have your own way. Best wishes.
We are both have: RN BSN CHPN credentials.

@@TheHospiceCarePlan my way was taught by CNA classes and by the state
How often do you suggest bathing?
In Hospice care we usually suggest 1-2 xs weekly depending on if the person is bedbound. Certainly if incontinent you would be doing peri-care regularly. Just think about yourself and how often you need to bathe depending on activity.
Thanks for your response
Am always in class
Good for you! Your patients are lucky. Thank you.

Do enema video
Oh, that would probably be a pretty difficult one to film. It’s an interesting idea though… I will consider putting it on our list and talk to my partner Brenda. Thanks for your comment and best wishes in your caregiving. Please go to our website www.thecareplan.net. Read the page on bowel care. If bowels are managed the way they’re supposed to there should never be a reason for an enema. Take care.
