When providing a bed bath in a cluttered environment


Problem: When providing a bed bath in a cluttered environment like Mrs. Keen's home, there are risks of musculoskeletal injuries due to awkward postures and physical strain. Here are two potential injuries and methods to reduce the risk: Back Injuries Risk: Bending over the bed for prolonged periods or twisting awkwardly can strain the lower back. Prevention: Use proper body mechanics: Keep your back straight, bend at the knees, and avoid twisting motions and adjust the bed height (if possible) to a comfortable working level to minimize bending. 2. Shoulder Strain Risk: Reaching or stretching excessively while bathing the client can strain the shoulder muscles. Prevention: Position Mrs. Keen as close to you as possible to reduce the need for reaching and use both hands evenly when lifting or moving her to distribute the load and avoid overloading one side. As the client, what are Mrs Keen's safety responsibilities to you as a worker? List four things she needs to consider. Need Assignment Help?
