Default Re: daily baths?
I work the 6a-2p shift as a CNA in a skilled rehab unit which i really enjoy even though it gets very hectic due to the fact that we only have and hour to shower a.m. showers, and toilet and assist with dressing the non-a.m. showers in order to ensure that everyone is up and ready in the dining room for breakfast, their therapy sessions or doc appointments.

Our rehab patients are bathed every other day due to the fact that we do not have the staff to bath patients daily. what we do is when we toilet the non- showers we make sure that they clean all the hot spots such as peri care, under arms, face washing, and brushing their teeth, and hair care before they leave their room. after everyone is assembled into the dining room we the CNa's pass out their breakfast drinks and their breakfast. while they are eating, we then chart on each patient on our personel CNA Kiosk. we chart on their ability to dress themselves, ambulation toileting and how much assisstence was required from us to ensure that we keep up with their daily progress. it is a very effective method to ensure proper billing in regards to medicare e.t.c.
