    Study Notes

    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.
