Here's a trick that I learned. They didn't teach this in school so I don't know if it's going to be OK for you to to this or not so better play it safe than sorry.

When you get out of school and are giving a bed pan, take some baby powder and sprinkle it on the flat plastic part that will be touching the persons skin. It makes it more comfortable for them and it also makes it easier to pull out from under them as well as reducing the risk of tearing the skin.

Good luck!
