Position the person in good alignment. Use pillows for support. Keep bed linens tight and wrinkle-free. Make sure the person is not lying on tubes. Assist with elimination needs. Adjust the room temperature to meet the person's needs. Provide blankets for warmth and to prevent chilling. Use correct moving and turning procedures. Give a back massage. Provide soft music to distract the person. Talk softly and gently. Use touch to provide comfort. Allow family and friends at the bedside as requested by the person. Avoid sudden or jarring movements of the bed or chair. Handle the person gently. Keep the bed in a low position that is safe and comfortable for the person. Check on the person every 10 to 15 minutes. Provide help when the person needs to get up and when he or she is up and about. Apply warm or cold applications as directed by the nurse. Provide a calm, quiet, darkened setting. --Page 537, The Back Massage, The back massage (back rub) can promote comfort and help relieve pain. It relaxes muscles and stimulates circulation. A good time to give back massages is after repositioning. You also give them after baths and showers and with evening care. Back massages last three to five minutes. Observe the skin before the massage. Look for breaks in the skin, bruises, reddened areas, and other signs of skin breakdown. --Page 611, Wound Care, Wound Healing, Inflammatory phase, Bl.ing stops. A scab forms, preventing microbes from entering the wound. An increased bl. supply to the wound brings nutrients and healing substances. Because bl. supply increases, signs and symptoms of inflammation appear, redness, swelling, heat or warmth, and pain. Loss of function may occur. --Pages 634-641, Chapter 38, Heat and Cold Applications. --Page 635, Heat Applications, Heat applications can be applied to almost any body part. They are often used for musculoskeletal injuries or problems (sprains, arthritis). Heat - Relieves pain Relaxes muscles Promotes healing Reduces tissue swelling Decreases joint stiffness When heat is applied to the skin, bl. vessels in the area dilate. Dilate means to expand or open wider. Bl. flow increases. Tissues have more oxygen and nutrients for healing. Excess fluid is removed from the area faster. --Page 745, Digestive disorders, (table), General Care, Provide good skin care. Use warm water with baking soda for bathing. This decreases itching.
