    BEDRIDDEN PATIENT AT A GLANCE
     Bedridden care giving involves several aspects
    of life that you might take for granted, such as
    hygiene. Here are some things you should look
    out for.
     1. Ensure good hygiene.

     2. Promote good nutrition.


    PREVENTING BEDSORES

     Bedridden patient care at home


    involves caring for injuries to
    skin and underlying tissues
    resulting from sitting or lying in
    one position for too long.
     These injuries, called bedsores
    or pressure sores, involve
    making sure the patient is
    positioned differently every few
    hours.
     In the worst case scenario,
    these sores can become
    infected and result in
    complications and a shortened
    life.
    Changing Diapers

    Changing diapers is a common responsibility when caring for bedridden


    elderly at home.
    Here, we will provide step-by-step instructions:
    •If the patient is wearing pants, remove them completely rather than
    rolling them to their ankles.
    •Roll the patient onto their side and peek inside the diaper for urine and
    bowel movements.
    •Undo the diaper’s sides, open it, and fold it down to contain the soiled
    area.
    •Use wipes to clean the area and apply ointment if needed. You will
    need to lift their legs to reach all of the areas.
    •Roll the patient on the opposite side and remove the diaper.
    •Lay an open, clean diaper behind the patient to allow them to easily
    roll into it.
    •Roll the patient into the diaper.
    •Pull up the front of the diaper through their legs and attach the front
    and sides.
    •Dispose of the diaper and wipes in a plastic grocery bag, seal and
    dispose of properly.
