Help with Nursing Bag technique

[Sana2007]

Does anybody know what is exatly the point of using a barrier underneath the bag when placed down in a patient's house? Is it to keep the patient's surroundings clean or is it to keep the bag clean? I am confused bc I just recieved a nursing bag from Hopkins with wheels and I am afraid to use the wheels as that will certainly make the bottom dirty. But if the barrier is used to keep the patients surrounding from getting dirty then I am safe for using the wheels. Please help, this bag is really heavy to carry on my shoulder.

Thank you.

These poor patients that get the surveyor visits. Don't you feel sorry for the extra stress it places on them? It usually goes well, but sometimes... Makes me wonder - do surveyors ever go in during patient care in a hospital? Something about the whole process just seems wrong to me. I think they should be allowed to interview patients, but not to observe.

Agree 100%!
