I started my CNA classes at a Community College a while back and dismissed myself from the program, and am now taking it with the American Red Cross which I love!
During Clinicals with the College, the residents wore briefs.
My new Instructor said it is much more sanitary and easier to clean NOT using briefs, but only the pads underneath a Resident. Reasoning - Resident is not spending time with Urine and Fecal matter pressed into the genital area. i.e. UTI.
Another gal also mentioned it is much easier to clean a Resident who is only using the cotton pad with the plastic backing.
Opinions??? Thank you!
