Previews

"Dip the washcloth into plain water, without using soap, which can irritate eyes. Clean the eyes by wiping from the inner corner to the outer area. Use a different part of the wash cloth to clean each eye..."

"One of your responsibilities is to encourage the patient to enjoy activities and social contact. You should, however, let them set their own pace."

"Safety is your first concern when helping someone with mobility. The nurse or physical therapist can help you assess whether or not you can physically help the patient by yourself. If not, devices like a mechanical lift can relieve much of the physical burden."

"Routine exercise stimulates circulation and keeps the joints and muscles in working order. Exercise improves mood, appetite, ability to sleep, and sense of well being ... Normally, you will walk on the patient's weaker or affected side."
