PROCEDURE 1.1
Giving a Complete Bed Bath
OVERVIEW
● Ensures cleanliness of patients who cannot bathe themselves.
● Promotes circulation.
● Provides comfort.

● Maintains muscle tone and joint mobility through active and passive

movement.
● Provides an opportunity for thorough assessment.

P R E PA R AT I O N
● Assess patient’s ability to perform his or her own care.
● Discuss patient preferences for bathing.
● Provide privacy.

● Avoid chilling the patient.

● Wash your hands; wear gloves if you will come in contact with body

fluids or handle a bedpan.


● Gather all supplies in room before you begin.

● Ask patient if he or she needs to use the bedpan

● Check to see if patient is allergic or sensitive to soap.

Special Considerations
• Patients who need a complete bed bath are usually dependent in
other ways also. They may need to be fed, be incontinent, or have
devices such as IVs, feeding tubes, or multiple dressings in place.
The nurse needs to be comfortable manipulating these devices
when giving the bath and ensuring patency and cleanliness of
these devices.
• It is always preferable to have the patient assist with the bath as
much as possible, particularly with perineal care.
• The bed bath is a good time to establish rapport and expand the
nurse–patient relationship.
• During and after the bath, the bed linen is changed, and the two
activities are usually combined.

R E L E VA N T N U R S I N G D I A G N O S E S
● Impaired bed mobility
● Bathing/hygiene self-care deficit
● Risk for disuse syndrome
01Rhoads(F)-01 5/3/07 1:22 PM Page 3

P r o c e d u r e 1 . 1 Giving a Complete Bed Bath 3

EXPECTED OUTCOMES
● Patient expresses comfort and relaxation
● Skin is clean and dry
● Patient participates in the procedure as much as possible

E Q U I P M E N T/S U P P L I E S
● Basin of warm water
● Soap and soap dish
● Towels and washcloths (two or three of each, if possible)

● Laundry bag or hamper

● Clean gown

● Clean gloves

I M P L E M E N TAT I O N
➧ Discuss procedure with patient and ensure privacy.
Promotes cooperation and decreases anxiety.

➧ Place all supplies within reach.


Organizes task and prevents unnecessary steps.

➧ Wash hands.
Reduces transmission of microorganisms.

➧ Position bed at comfortable height.


Reduces nurse’s back strain.

➧ Fill basin with warm water, and test temperature on wrist.


Testing temperature helps prevent accidental scalding.

➧ Help patient to side of bed closest to you, and lower side rail.
Provides access to patient, and reduces back strain of nurse.

➧ Remove patient’s clothes while providing warmth and privacy with


a covering such as a bed blanket.
Provides access to body parts; provides modesty and warmth.
➧ Take washcloth and wrap the cloth around your hand tightly, form-
ing a mitt.
Prevents splashing water on patient and bedclothes.

➧ Be careful of the patient’s eyes. Use clear water to clean them, start-
ing from the inner canthus to the outer canthus. If patient is not sen-
sitive to soap, lather washcloth and gently wash the patient’s face,
starting from the forehead down.
Some patients are sensitive to soap or have very dry skin, and soap could
increase dryness and lead to irritation and skin breakdown. Bathe from

cleanest area and work downward toward feet, going from areas of cleanest
to dirtiest.
Attention to the eyes prevents eye irritation and infection.

➧ Bathe ears and front and back of neck.


Perspiration accumulates on the back of the neck when patients lie in bed for
long periods.

➧ Bathe upper body and extremities, stroking arms from wrist to


shoulder. Include axillary area.
Stimulates circulation.

➧ Soak hands in basin if indicated.


Dirt accumulates under fingernails, especially in incontinent patients.

➧ Keep chest covered with towel and wash under breasts on female
patients. Apply powder if patient desires.
This area stays moist on many females and can lead to skin excoriation.

➧ Bathe abdomen using side-to-side strokes on skin folds.


Moisture and debris can accumulate in skin folds leading to irritation.

➧ Bathe legs and feet, being sure perineal area is draped.


Prevents unnecessary exposure.

➧ Soak feet in basin if indicated, and if patient is able to hold leg in


position.
Soaking will soften rough skin and facilitate cleaning toenails.

➧ Change bath water if necessary.


Bath water may be cool or dirty.

➧ Assist patient to side-lying position and wash back. Give backrub.


Side-lying position gives access to patients back for backrub.

➧ Put on clean gloves and bathe perineal area. Dry thoroughly.


Prevents cross contamination of organisms. Excess moisture contributes to
skin breakdown.

➧ Remove gloves and assist patient to put on clean gown.


Promotes dignity and reduces exposure.

➧ Conduct other personal hygiene activities as needed.


Promotes patient’s body image.

➧ Lower bed, raise side rails, put call bell in reach, and dispose of used
equipment and linen.
Provides safety.

➧ Wash your hands.


Reduces transmission of microorganisms.
