What bedridden patient care includes
Hygiene and skin care
Bed bath or sponge bath and oral, eye, ear and skin care, done gently and with attention to pressure points where bedsores start.
Bedsore (pressure sore) dressing
Cleaning and dressing of pressure sores and other chronic wounds, with progress noted at each visit so you can see whether healing is on track.
Feeding, tubes and catheters
Feeding help by hand, Ryle's tube or PEG; Ryle's tube insertion; urinary catheter insertion and change; and suctioning to clear secretions.
Exercises to prevent stiffness
Passive range-of-motion exercises and patient mobilisation keep joints moving and support circulation for patients who can't move on their own.
