The basis for safe, effective care is thinking, doing, and caring. The nurse is caring for a patient with dementia, who is agitated and having trouble reasoning. How might the nurse show caring when providing a morning bed bath? Give some examples
- Approaching the patient slowly and from the front as to not frighten them or cause them to feel threatened.
- Using a gentle, calm voice; speaking slowly and clearly without rushing.
- Rescheduling a better time to do the morning care if the patient is combative or aggressive. Timing is very important.
- Asking questions that require simple or yes/no answers, rather than broad, open-ended, or vague questions. Short sentences are best and one simple topic at a time. Comments should be concrete and specific.
- Allowing time for the patient to respond to simple directions one at a time.
- Orienting them to person, place, time, and situation in the course of conversation while giving the bed bath. This not only helps to orient them but also is a good distraction technique.
- Turning the TV on while bathing the patient or performing other care that requires cooperation.
- Aiding the patient’s memory by repeating their last expressed thought, if they lose their train of thought.
- Avoiding slang and jargon. A person with dementia and confusion does not interpret figurative language well.
- Using gestures to aid in understanding.
- Providing for basic physical needs (e.g., toileting, meals, pain control) before attempting to provide care that requires cooperation.
