1, ordinary care
Bedridden elderly people need to be arranged in a room with good ventilation and light, because air ventilation is more important to the health of the elderly. In addition, it is best to put the daily necessities often used by the elderly in their lives where they can get them. If the environment permits, it can also be placed on the bedside with a guardrail to prevent the elderly from falling off the bed when taking things or sleeping.
2. Psychological care
Old people who stay in bed for a long time are prone to depression and world-weariness. This kind of old man needs to pay attention to his daily situation. Nurses can talk to old people more and encourage them to be optimistic about themselves and things around them.
3, diet care
Intestinal peristalsis of the elderly is weakened due to lack of activity, which is easy to cause flatulence, loss of appetite and constipation. They should be given nutritious and digestible soft food and semi-liquid food. If they have diabetes, they should be given a sugar-free diet, increase the intake of cellulose appropriately to prevent constipation, and eat regularly, eat less and eat more meals.
4. Health care
Because the elderly in bed are inconvenient to move, they often have to urinate in bed, which will naturally produce odor. What should I do? It's simple. It can be solved by making the elderly wear comfortable and tasteless adult diapers. Diapers contain polymer water-absorbent resin and PE impermeable film, which can reduce odor and absorb a lot, so it will not produce odor. Old people are comfortable to use, and nursing staff are more convenient and comfortable to care.
In addition, in winter, the elderly in bed should pay more attention to warm measures:
1. Ensure the room temperature, and keep the room temperature at 18-22 degrees. The elderly will be more comfortable and should be ventilated frequently.
2. Bedding should be suitable. Don't cover the old people with too many bedding. It is inconvenient for the elderly to move, and the cover is too thick, which will affect their activities.
3. Use the electric blanket carefully. Although the electric blanket can ensure the warmth of the elderly sleeping, there are potential safety hazards, and long-term use will make the elderly thirsty and short of water.
Due to the use of heating equipment such as heating, the room is dry, and it is necessary to replenish water to the elderly in time.
