Today, I made my first attempt at bathing a resident and I quite frankly, choked.
It wasn't at all like the videos on youtube and I kept getting water everywhere. The patient was a non-responsive one so I was already nervous and she closed her legs so I couldn't get to her peri area. The worst was dressing her again. I am a guy and I had no idea how to turn her panties or her bra on and since she was non responsive and sitting there, I had trouble figuring out how to put her clothes on.
Actually, the worst was me elbowing her head by accident and I still feel terrible for that.
My instructor says that I will learn by doing, but I have only two tries left and I don't know how I can practice/make sure I do better.
Does anyone have a step by step guide? My book is very vague. I have to know how to put on clothes for a non responsive person and the book is no help either.
I feel stupid and I'm nervous about my theory instructor pulling me aside after class.
