The bed bath is an important part of the individualized care many patients receive while hospitalized, and is one of the basic skills all nurses must know. The bed bath not only helps keep the patient clean but also maintains healthy skin by providing stimulation and increasing circulation, provides the patient with mild exercise, and provides an opportunity for close observation of any skin condition. The time spent giving a bed bath is ideal for assessing the condition of the patient's skin, interacting with the patient and providing important emotional support. Shows how to gather bed bath supplies, prepare the patient, and use proper body mechanics. Focuses on perineal care, back massage, shaving, hair care, and oral hygiene.
