Care Of The Sick And Home Health Practices
The U S Public Health Service offers general tips for at home illness care. Ensure a well ventilated room with windows, a narrow bed, clean laundered clothing for caregivers, and wash hands after contact. Rub the patient’s back daily with alcohol or cold cream to prevent bed sores. Keep the bowels and kidneys active with fluids, use a hot water bottle with a cover, and avoid burns. Monitor pulse and temperature, call a physician for fever over 101 F with rapid pulse and breathing. Use mostly liquids or soft foods until professional advice. Two guiding principles emphasize patient comfort and preventing disease spread.
