"Today, we will do demonstration of care that we will provide to the patients. So, we will practice nair care, hair care, oral care and back care. "
"Excuse me ,ma'am...by nail care you mean trimming their nails. Is it like that? "
"Yes, trimming their nails, washing their hair, making them brush their teeth and providing them back massage and so on are our jobs."
All the students become shocked to do this.
"Ma'am why should we do works like that?"
"Did we pay so much money for this course just to do works like this?"
"Yes, ma'am she is right. Why should we even do that?"
"Students, I know at first you will feel awkward and even uncomfortable with providing care. But later you will learn that care is the upmost priority that will benefit our patient. There are many benefits of providing care.
* The patients hygiene will improve and they will feel refreshed.
* it prevents cross infection
*back care prevents froms bed sores, improves circulation and many more.
After giving care to the patient, and when you see the patient feeling refreshed and with improved hygiene...You yourself will feel relieved."
The students observe the demonstration carefully. The following days they also observe demonstration of bed bath and procedure of performing vital signs.
