Principles of nursing disabled elderly people

1, not seeing evil is not virtue. Disabled elderly people need the help of others or rely on others completely in their daily lives, which includes very private nursing such as cleaning perineum, changing diapers and artificial defecation. Some elderly people prefer to exclude their private parts from being exposed to outsiders, and even beat and scold the nursing staff for refusing to clean the perineum. At this time, we should not follow the so-called "see no evil" in order to respect the so-called privacy of the elderly and choose not to care about these private parts.

2, detained, haggle over every ounce. The care of the disabled elderly is a trivial matter, so we should pay close attention to the subtle changes in the physiology and psychology of the elderly, not let go of the hidden small parts, and reduce the hidden unfavorable factors for the elderly.

3. Do something wrong. The mobility of the disabled elderly is greatly restricted, especially those with moderate or mild disabilities. Their minds and consciousness are still very clear. In the process of nursing, we should consider the thoughts and feelings of the elderly, carefully warn them and make a difference.
