Beginning of spring means that the winter when everything is closed has passed, and it has begun to enter the spring when everything grows. What should I pay attention to when nursing the elderly after spring?

1

Always stay warm.

After beginning of spring, the weather was warm and cold at first, but at this time, it is not advisable to reduce clothes prematurely, and it is especially prudent to change clothes. In spring, the human body's metabolism slows down accordingly, and its resistance drops, making it easy to get sick. If you sweat at this time, you should wipe it off in time.

There are elderly people in bed at home. When opening the window for air, be careful not to let the wind blow. Covering in spring and freezing in autumn can reduce the occurrence of diseases, especially common respiratory infectious diseases.

2

Prevention of mental illness

In terms of mental health in spring, reduce hostility, avoid depression and maintain a good attitude. The elderly should correctly understand the disease, maintain an optimistic mood and actively face the treatment of the disease. In addition, family members should always communicate with the elderly to eliminate their nervousness and actively face treatment.

At the same time, we should make full use of and cherish the opportunity of vigorous metabolism in spring, and through appropriate adjustment, let the body function be properly restored.

three

moistureproof

Spring began to pick up, the water gradually increased and the humidity became heavier. Hazy, humid and sultry weather provides an environment for bacteria to grow and survive.

Old people at home often dry bedding and clothes, and keep the room dry and breathable when sleeping at night. Old people must keep dry when changing clothes, and change diapers at any time.

If the environment is suitable, you can wear loose clothes to make your skin breathe and avoid eczema.

four

pay attention to the diet

The elderly who stay in bed for a long time need food rich in protein, fat, sugar, vitamins and other nutrients, especially the supplement of protein, because it is necessary for tissue growth and repair. (Milk, eggs, lean meat, fish, bananas, oranges, green leafy vegetables)

Because the elderly stay in bed for a long time, their activities are small and their intestinal peristalsis is reduced, which is easy to cause constipation. While supplementing nutrition, we should pay attention to the supplement of crude fiber food.

You can do abdominal massage every day, gently rub your lower abdomen, and develop the habit of defecating regularly every day.

five

Pay attention to pressure sore

For the elderly who stay in bed for a long time, they need to turn over regularly. Turn over every 2 hours during the day and try to turn over every 3 hours at night. Family members can record time, body position and skin condition in time.

Many elderly people in bed have been ill for a long time, with emaciated bodies and muscular atrophy. When turning over, they should be especially careful and gentle to reduce skin friction. At the same time, they should keep the bed clean and free of sundries to avoid friction between skin and sheets.
