Judy: 1, l.
1.) An alternative to doing this during the morning routine, s to insert the suppository upon retiring in the evening. Action takes place while patient sleeps on side with Chux strategically placed and can be tied up before turning. (Night time turning will be described in Part IV.)
g. Begin bathing this day from the rear (rolling out soiled Chux), then front - following with particular care the rule of never returning a soiled wash cloth to the bath pail. Scrupulous white glove treatment of all creases of the perineal area insures protection of the skin.
h. Sit up for remainder of bed bath or prepare for tub bath.
i. Dress, arrange Hoyer sling, etc. as described previously. (Because of the above mentioned bowel impaction, have found it better for me not to use the brace this day; therefore, rather than the wheelchair, the chaise lounge is brought into service.
