Hello Tere, Welcome to my channel. (1) If your patient is asking you to adjust the pillow, I would remove my gloves and wash my hands if my gloved hands are dirty. If my hands are not dirty, I would go ahead and adjust the client's pillow. Now, remember you must wash your hands after ALL patient care. (2) When removing a dirty linen protector, your suggestion is good. The behavior keeps the patient from lifting up and down twice. I hope this answered your questions. If not let know and I will make a video demonstrating it.

Hello Dr. Lee, want to let you know I appreciate your videos. They are very clear. I heard you say in this video of pericare that you pour the water for cleaning the washing bowl after the pericare in the toilet but you rather poured it in the sink; hope you mean sink but not toilet. Thanks

Hi Dr. Lee, I have a few questions about this skill. Once the resident has been cleaned does it matter if we place an underpad underneath them instead of a towel? Also, should we wait to put soiled linens in the hamper until we are cleaning up, or can we place them in the hamper as soon as we are finished with them? Lastly, do we close the curtain as we leave to gather our supplies and to clean the basin towards the end, but leave the curtain open after the skill is complete and we leave the residents room for the final time? I always get confused when it comes to the small details!

Hello Serena, Peri Care 1. Once the resident has been cleaned does it matter if we place an underpad underneath them instead of a towel? Prometric requires in step 15: Leave resident on dry underpad at completion of procedure? Prometric does not care what is used as an underpad. 2. 2. Also, should we wait to put soiled linens in the hamper until we are cleaning up, or can we place them in the hamper as soon as we are finished with them? Prometric does not care if you put the dirty linen up when cleaning or at the end. To receive credit you need to make sure the linen is put up before you complete the skills. See Step 16: Complete skill having rinsed, dried and stored basin, placing soiled linens in hamper, disposing of trash, and leaving overbed table dry? 3. .Lastly, do we close the curtain as we leave to gather our supplies and to clean the basin towards the end, but leave the curtain open after the skill is complete and we leave the residents room for the final time? I always get confused when it comes to the small details! I teach students to open the curtain in the beginning and to close the curtain with the closing.

Dr. Lee, can I ask the patient to hold the side rail to help me turn to the side if the side rail is available. At the end of the skill can I say the appropriate number of side rails raised and bed in the lowest position,

@txcnaskills2599

3 жыл бұрын

Hello Obianuju, Prometric does this skill a little different from Pearson Vue. If you go back to your notes and look at the Prometric Nurse Aide Clinical Skills Checklist, you will not find a reference for using the side rails in this procedure. Prometric wants the client to STAY away from the edge of the bed at ALL times. If the client rolls and grab the side rail, he or she will be near the edge of the bed and this will be a reason to not pass the exam under indirect care.

Hello Claudia, When performing pericare, all of the water can go down the sink. Think about it. Some people take a wash-off in their private homes at a bathroom sink. We don't take the water and put it in the toilet. This is different for the bedpan skill and measuring urine output. For these two skills, the rinse water will go into the toilet because we don't put waste products in a sink.

@txcnaskills2599

Prometric does NOT have a requirement to put on gloves before you gather your supplies. Let's think for a moment. Gloves are considered a part of PPE. Healthcare workers do not wear PPE in the halls. The clean supplies are located in the halls. Therefore, we Do NOT put on gloves and go get our supplies. Prometric guidelines REQUIRE gloves to be on BEFORE you start washing the client. You will SAY that you are washing your hands BEFORE going to get your clean supplies with your bare clean hands. I hope this answers your question.

Hello Dr. Lee. My instructor highly recommends watching your videos in order to practice and pass the state exam here in TX. I want ask you...When do you wash the inner part of the vagina because I noticed that you did part the lips at any time during this procedure? Also, is it acceptable to raise the bed to your comfortable height level or No, for safety reasons of the patient?

Hello Lisa, I think you are asking 2 questions. 1. When I clean the vaginal area, I do clean between the labias. 2. You can raise the bed to your waist level. I don't encourage my students to raise the bed up because the student might get nervous and forget to put the bed back down which will make the person fail that skill.

can you add the bed lined under the protective pad

Hello Daryanna, The guideline doesn't require us to put a linen protector/pull sheet under the client for the exam. You will not get points deducted if you do or don't. I DON'T teach my students to use a pull sheet. I teach my students to move the manikin over as needed for the Peri care skill.

Dr Lee when I clean the private area I have to describe what I’m doing?

@txcnaskills2599

Жыл бұрын

Hello, You don't have to describe your actions to the evaluator. Prometric requires that we explain to the patient what we are planning to do before actually performing the skill. Most of my students find it helpful to talk through the skills while doing the skill because it helps the student to remember what to do. I hope this makes sense. A part of indirect care with each skill except handwashing is talking to the client.

Hi there! I am getting ready to take my clinical test this week. I was taught to raise and lower the bed in every skill, but I feel it would be better to do it only when necessary. What are your thoughts on this? Thank you so much!

@txcnaskills2599

Ай бұрын

Hello Sarah, Raising and lowering the bed is NOT required for this skill. I teach my students to leave the bed as it is. The reason for this, it that some students get nervous and forget to put the bed back down. Not putting the bed back down is a flunk. Therefore, for the test, just leave the bed as it is and pass.

Hello Ari, I live in Texas. I am not familiar with Massachusetts guidelines. My understanding is that Prometric uses 5 skills on their state exam. Handwashing and Indirect skills are not written on a card that is given to the student at the test site. Therefore only three skills will be written down on paper.

You said rinse water goes into the toilet, but you poured down the sink which is correct ?

@txcnaskills2599

Ай бұрын

Hello, Please pay attention to the skill directions. For this skill (Peri Care) the water can go in the sink or the toilet. The state does NOT tell the student where to place the dirty water. There are different instructions when dealing with the BedPan or emptying the urinary drainage bag. The STATE gives specific instructions as to where the rinse water goes. So are you confused about this skill or another skill?

@txcnaskills2599

Ай бұрын

Hello, I just thought about something that may help you know when to pour the rinse water in the sink. Some people take a sponge bath at a sink. Therefore the person wash and rinse at the sink. So, we can pour BATH water in the sink. All fluids that we eliminate (urine and BM) MUST go into the toilet. This includes the rinse water. I hope this makes sense. If not let me know.

You will be just fine taking your exam using 4-5 extra wash cloths. Do what you need to do to pass the exam. Good Luck.

Hello Baraket, Prometric does not tell us where to put the bath water. It is acceptable to place the water in the sink or toilet. In real life situations, many patients take a wash off at the sink and clean their peri area. These patient don't sit over a toilet and wash themselves. Therefore, during testing this is reasonable.
