Can any of you wiser ones help me out? Second round of check-offs are Friday and I could really use some visual tools to help me out. All the videos I've found though have either been really poor quality, muffled and hard to see, or they appear to be made by a 12 year-old at a sleep over.
Any tools for the following would be spectacular:
-Occupied Bed Making
-Patient Ambulation
-Oral Hygiene for the Unconcious Patient
Occupied Bed Making is my biggest fear. Terrified, honestly. Not looking forward to demonstrating moving someone around without hurting myself either. :stone
Any help or advice is incredibly welcome. I'm one of the younger people in my class so I already feel intimidated.

this one is awesome :)
also if you have clinicals before skills check off find a CNA/PCA to help you. They know how to do it and do it fast :)
For the occupied one, you just have them roll to one side and then stuff the dirty stuff rolled up underneath them and the new stuff rolled too. Then roll them to the other side and pull out the dirty and then unroll the clean. lots of rolling for the pts hehe. I dont think they like it so much:rolleyes:
Thank you very much for all of the advice. I've been trying to read the step-by steps in the book as well. It makes it seem not as tough. I just realized there's a CD inside my book, not sure what it is, but maybe the mysterious thing can help.
