NOC Patient bathing

[sheridan7679]

Is it appropriate to insist that a patient receive a bath during the night shift to save the day shift some work and to suit the schedule of the hospital, or is the patient's rest more important?

We only do bathing of some of the Alzheimer's residents on night shift. We wake some of the residents up at night for routine water drops for the eyes, to do routine skin checks, give laxative pills and rectal suppositories.
