    How Do You Ensure That The Patient Is Not Wrongfully Fitted With The Wrong Denture After?

    The fingertips are cleaner than the wrists after handwashing due to direct water contact and scrubbing between fingers. During a bath, the nursing process of assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation can be accomplished. Additional safety precautions are needed like two nurses for contact precaution patients or raising the bed for unconscious patients. Eight ounces of ice chips is equivalent to 240 mL. A fracture bedpan is smaller and flatter than a normal bedpan for hip fracture patients. Correctly fitted dentures should be comfortable while ill-fitting dentures cause pain, bleeding, and difficulty eating.

    1.

    When finished washing, which part of your hands is considered more clean, your
    fingertips or your wrists?
    The fingertips are considered cleaner after handwashing. This is because more time is
    spent scrabbing palm to palm in a circular pattern with direct water contact. The back
    of the fingers, thumb, and tips of the fingers are also given close attention when
    handwashing, rendering the parts contamination-free, unlike the hand wrist.

    2. What psychosocial aspects of a bath are important? What step of the nursing
    process can be accomplished during a bath? (Hint: ADPIE)
    During a bed bath, the nursing process can be accomplished through the five phases
    as follows. First, an assessment identifies the patient’s underlying issue, including the
    emotional and psychological state. Second, diagnosis is made to determine the
    patient’s medical condition and needs. Third, planning is done to identify the course
    of action once the patient agrees with the diagnosis (Nicholson & Johnson, 2020).
    Fourth, implementation of the treatment plan is put into action. Fifth, evaluation is
    lastly done to assess whether there is anything to be corrected or the treatment plan
    worked.
    3. What changes need to be made in normal procedure for a bed of a client on
    contact precautions?
    If the patient is unconscious or helpless, two nursing personnel should work together,
    one being the instructor to the patient as the other performs the procedure. If the
    assistant is not available, the bedside of the bed to the nurse should be raised to
    prevent the patient from rolling out of bed.
    4. What safety issues do you notice in this video?
    The noticeable safety issue is that the nursing personnel did not confirm the wheels
    are locked to prevent any movement that can be hazardous. Also, the nursing
    personnel should have gloves worn to prevent any contamination in case of contact
    with fluids.

    5. 8 ounce of ice chip is equivalent to how many mL?


    Eight ounces of ice chip is equivalent to 240 mL of ice chip.

    6. What is the difference between fracture and normal bedpan?


    The fracture bedpan is smaller than the normal bedpan, and it consists of one flat end.
    It is designed for patients recovering from a replacement of the hip or who had a hip
    fracture. A fracture bedpan allows the ailing person to stay in a lying position. It holds
    less urine which can be spilled easily, and it is more comfortable.
    A regular bedpan is designed to facilitate natural elimination position and therefore
    requires repositioning the bed and patient. It holds more urine and is designed to
    prevent spills due to the higher walls; thus, it can be uncomfortable (Mineli et., 2021).

    7. How do you ensure that the patient is not wrongfully fitted with the wrong
    denture after?
    Properly fitted dentures should facilitate one to live a normal life and are comfortable.
    Wrongfully fitted dentures can be identified if the following signs and symptoms
    manifest; movement of dentures, gums pain accompanied by bleeding, challenge in
    eating and swallowing discomfort, and speaking difficulties.
