[healthoccs] Procedure question

[Young, Marcia]

Most definitely- for a full bed bath- however if you are just having the
patient wash their hands before a meal- and there is no potential of
body fluid contact- than at that time no

Elaine-

 

Would you put this question to the Health Occs. List?  There has been
some discussion on the following and I'd like some feedback and
references for evidence based responses.

 

Except for oral and perineal care, Do you teach your CNA students to
wear gloves when giving bed baths, showers and tub baths in the
healthcare setting?

 

The texts I have used and will use say yes.  CDC references in one ppt
slide show (PPE in health care setting slide # 45) says "Giving a bed
bath?  Generally none?" in response to the question What type of PPE
Would You Wear.  And yet in another article states"Because a health
worker cannot always know when a patient's body fluids are infectious,
Standard Precautions should be used with all patients in the health care
setting, regardless of their infection status" 

 

Thank you,

 

Isabelle Markley, CNA instructor MidMaine Adult Community Education,
