Giving a Bed Bath: A Step-by-Step Guide

Am not likely to have to go to these extents, but the ideas given are useful in the just in case story... also for tackling your own job yourself!

This goes for all four pages ~ excellent bit of info. I did note a comment indicating total lack of comprehension from a reader. It helps, to have "been there and done that", for certain. Try giving your child a "bed bath". . . with just the knowledge you have now, and knowing that "privacy" is a must, as you go about it. You will come to "learn" you must have everything on hand at the bed side ~ your child (pretend) and/or patient must not be left alone. Pay attention to the many trips to gather items to complete the job ~ again, you can not leave the patient! Go back through this great article make a list of things needed. Laminate it and keep it handy. Me, personally, I'm locating a carry all like janitors use to carry cleaning tools to efficiently go about their work, needed supplys with them and no need to "go get an item". I'm planning on a trash can and laundry basket bed side too. Again ~ this is an excellent article. Caring.com, y'all rock ! !

it is practical, straight to the point and easily digested points. well illustrated.

If you haven't tried the Oasis Bed Bath system consisting of wipes and shampoo caps, do give it a go! It is much less cumbersome and much more efficient. http://www.synergyonlinestore.com/personal-bathing-aids.html?utm_source=ExtLink&utm_medium=Direct&utm_content=Natasha&utm_campaign=ExtLink

Very helpful! I am a very shy and modest person, I am also a caregiver and I am always stepping out of my comfort zone for work! I like to be fully informed before performing tasks as it boosts my confidence. Also the people around me tend to have faith in me as opposed to me making them uncomfortable with my lack of knowledge and reassurance. So thanks :-)
