Client Safety and Hygiene Practices
- Client safety is a priority and includes maintaining a safe environment and preventing falls, electrical injuries, fires, burns, and accidental poisoning.
- Fire safety measures include reporting electrical hazards, knowing the location of exits and fire extinguishers, and following the RACE acronym for fire response.
- Fall prevention measures involve assessing clients for fall risk, educating them about call lights, keeping frequently used items within reach, and maintaining a clutter-free environment.
- Hygiene practices for client rooms include ensuring a comfortable and safe environment, proper lighting, a firm mattress, bedside table, and overbed table for convenience.
- Restraint alternatives, such as safety monitoring devices and soft devices, can be used to remind at-risk clients not to get up when it is unsafe.
- Physical and chemical restraints should be avoided if possible and used as a last resort with a physician's order.
- Personal hygiene care includes bathing clients with different types of baths (complete, assisted, partial, tub) and maintaining oral, eye, ear, nose, fingernail, toenail, and perineal hygiene.
- Hair care stimulates scalp circulation and allows for the assessment of scalp conditions, while skin care prevents infection and disease by keeping the skin intact and non-irritated.
- Risk assessment tools like the Braden Scale are used to assess the risk of pressure ulcers, and prevention measures should be implemented based on the assessment.
- Regular skin assessments should be conducted to identify any risk factors or signs of skin breakdown.
- It is important to monitor the skin for dryness, broken areas, excoriation, blistering, and changes in color.
- All incidents and accidents in the clinical or classroom area must be reported to the instructor to ensure a safe environment for clients.
