hips to help with the placement of the bedpan. The best action by the nurse aide is to? -
answerTurn resident onto one side and place the bed pan under their hips →
There are two ways to place a bedpan under a resident. If a resident is able, the nurse
aide can ask the resident to raise his or her hips off the bed, and then slide the bedpan
under the hips. If a resident is not able to lift the hips, the bedpan is placed by having
the resident turn onto his or her side. While on the side, the nurse aide positions the
bedpan against the buttocks, and then rolls the resident onto the bedpan while helping
the resident back onto his or her back. This leaves the bedpan under the resident's hips.
This will allow the resident to use the bedpan, while remaining in bed. After the resident
is positioned on the bedpan, raising the head of the bed provides for comfort. It can be
more difficult to urinate or have a stool while lying flat.
Many individuals will feel the urge to have a bowel movement in the morning after
