Matulog ng maayos, maligo ng maayos, para happy =))))

Making an occupied/unoccupied bed...

As a home nurse, making an occupied or unoccupied bed is one of the most important things to know. How can a patient be relaxed or comfortable if the bed is not comfy enough for a sick person? Sick na nga tapos pangit pa ang higaan, wala na to. HAHA. Anyway, it can help fasten the recovery of the patient by giving the person more comfort which is essential on being cured. After a tiring day, beds are always the one we will need to have a nice sleep. So, I can make the patient very comfortable and relaxed on his/her sleep through his/her wonderful bed and with that the patient will be happy despite the sickness that he/she has.


Bathing the patient...

There are a lot of reasons why the sick person should be given a bath and these include to (1) cleanse the patient, (2) refresh the patient, (3) relax the patient, (4) stimulate the circulation of the blood of the patient, (5) To serve s a form of exercise, and lastly, (6) to aid in the elimination of  the certain wastes of the body. But, for me the most important reason is to freshen that person up and for proper hygiene. Not because the person is sick, doesn't mean he/she can already be filthy. To make a sponge bath for a patient, you will need 2 big towels, 2 small towels, rubber sheet, a basin with warm water, soap, and light blanket. When you have those materials, you can already give a patient a bath.

The importance of a urinal is to be the one that a patient will use for excretory purposes when a patient is expected to remain bedridden for a long period of time. A back rub is made to refresh the patient. Cold compress is made to relieve pain or reduce inflammation while a hot compress is made to increase blood circulations and relieve the pain and congestion.
