lol!!!

hey, chux here in Australia are dish clothes that we use to wash dishes with!!! It's kinda degrading going from using a face washer that is soft and nice on residents who love to have that first thing in the morning to a dish cloth that is not going to lather. I certainly would not want to be washed with a dish cloth!!!!

A kylie is a self absorbent sheet that goes across the bed when there is an incontinent resident. It helps to draw away the moisture from the resident so they don't get any breakdowns.

I have just found out that our carers will be using chux wipes to wash our residents with in replacement of facewashers and they are going to do away with drawsheets and kylies - obvious cost cutting here. I'm not able to find any evidence based reasearch to come up with a rationale as to why this should not occur!!! Can anyone point me in the right direction??????
