Three brand new guides from our Hygiene category: https://lnkd.in/eKSu2gEZ   ·      Assisting an adult with toileting: Using a toilet   ·      Assisting an adult with toileting: Using a commode   ·      Assisting an adult with toileting: Using a urinal in bed   Elimination is considered to be one of the fundamental activities of daily living. People may require assistance with toileting and the amount of help required will vary according to individual need. Some patients will be able to transfer to a commode or walk to a bathroom with differing levels of assistance, while others will require a slipper bedpan or a urinal. The level of assistance needed depends on various factors, including the patient’s current medical condition, vital signs, mobility, cognition and level of pain. Healthcare staff should always consult the patient’s moving and handling risk assessment before assisting with toileting, and must do everything possible to maintain the patient’s privacy and dignity. These three new, fully illustrated guides cover the practical steps involved in safely helping a patient to the toilet, to transfer to a commode or to use a urinal or slipper bedpan. #toileting #clinical #nursing #elearning
