Matters needing attention in caring for the elderly:
1, psychological care: the elderly are generally vulnerable, so nursing is particularly important for the elderly. Generally, when you are old, you will usually feel pessimistic or desperate, and you will also be prone to depression. Therefore, you should pay more attention to psychological care, play with the elderly and talk with them to avoid making them feel lonely.
2. Diet care: The internal organs of the elderly have gradually declined, and the gastrointestinal organs have gradually declined. You can't eat spicy and irritating food, eat too greasy food, or even eat too hard food. You can eat more digestible foods, such as millet porridge, eight-treasure porridge, dried noodles and so on.
3, sleep care: the elderly generally have poor sleep quality, poor sleep quality usually leads to the decline of the elderly's physical immunity, which is not conducive to the health of the elderly, so try to let the elderly drink more milk or soak their feet before going to bed, relieve stress and promote sleep.
If the elderly suffer from organic diseases, they should go to the hospital regularly for re-examination, which is helpful to change the treatment plan in time and observe the recovery of the disease.
Clean and moisten the mouth, reduce halitosis, stimulate appetite, prevent oral infection, and observe the changes of oral mucosa. Rinse your mouth at any time before and after meals (elderly people with few or no teeth)
Method: Take a sip of water and rinse your mouth, then spit it out. Rinse repeatedly until it is clean; Wipe off the quarrel, clean things up, and brush your teeth (teeth are intact, and you can do oral care sooner or later). Methods: The old man sat half-sitting, moistened his mouth, with the upper teeth from top to bottom, the lower teeth from bottom to top, and the occlusal surface from inside to outside, and scrubbed his mouth (for the old man who stayed in bed for a long time). Adaptation: elderly people with oral diseases, elderly people with high fever on an empty stomach, elderly people fed by the empire, and elderly people in a coma.
Scrubbing sequence: assist the elderly to tilt their heads to the nurses. If you have dentures, take them off first and clean them with cold water. Oral cavity:-Hold a cotton swab dipped in warm water in one hand and a tongue depressor in the other to open your cheeks. First, wash the outside of the teeth vertically from left to right (from inside to outside). The upper inner side, upper occlusal surface, lower occlusal surface and lower occlusal surface are curved to scrub cheeks. Finally, scrub the other side in the same way. Wash your face and hands.
