Question about perineal care for a male?? Please help!

I never did. You are supposed to put a chuck/towel under the hips to absorb any water but I've never put them on a bed pan.

Uh you don't put anyone on a bedpan for peri care. AFter they have used one -- yes.

To do the butt you turn them on their side. I was taught only use towels because chux are expensive.

On the man I did, we didn't have to elevate the hips at all...like someone said, you turn them on their side to do their behind, but other than that, you should be fine without raising the hips, which should be avoided if possible any way...just from picturing my self in that situation, it's so much more comfortable if they're laying on a nice warm towel or sheet, as opposed to a big plastic bed pan.
