Wash hands and put on gloves before beginning this procedure.

>> Positioning the patient on their side.

Patients who are unable to get out of bed may need to use a bed pan when urinating

or for bowel movements.

The standard bed pan looks like a toilet seat and has a wide, high rim.

The fracture pan has a lower, thinner rim.

The smaller, flatter end is placed under the buttocks.

The higher end with the handle is placed facing the patient's feet.

Adjust the bed to a safe working height, lock brakes, lower the head of the bed,

and position the patient in the supine position.

Provide for privacy.

Close doors and curtains.

Place a towel or disposable protective pad under the patient as needed.

This helps to protect bed linens from getting urine or

feces on it in case of accidental spilling of the bed pan contents.

If the patient is unable to lift their hips,

roll them to the side facing opposite you.

Position the waterproof pad under the patient's buttocks, then position the bed

pan under their buttocks, pressing firmly but gently downward on the bed pan.

Place bed pan near hips.

Position a standard bed pan with the wider edge aligned with the buttocks.

Position the fracture pan with the flatter end under the patient's buttocks and

the handle toward the foot of the bed.

Hold the bed pan

securely against the patient as you roll the patient toward you.

Check to ensure the bed pan is adequately under the patient's buttocks.

Raise the head of the bed if the patient prefers so

that the patient is more closely in the sitting position.

This position allows for a more natural feel for the patient to eliminate.

Ensure a blanket is covering the patient.

Provide privacy.

Provide the patient with toilet paper as needed.

Lower the head of the bed so the patient is put into a supine position.

If the patient is able, ask them to lift their hips.

While they do this, firmly grasp the bed pan and remove it from under them.

[MUSIC]

If the patient is unable to lift their hips assist the patient to roll to

the side facing away from you.

While the patient is rolling, ensure you have a firm grasp of the bed pan.

You may have to have one hand on the patients hip to assist with rolling and

use your free hand to grasp the bed pan.

Remove the bed pan.

Clean the patient's perineum.

For female patients,

wipe the buttocks from front to back away from the vaginal area.

This ensures bacteria from the anal area and

from feces do not enter the vaginal area and cause a possible infection.

Lower the bed to it's lowest setting for safety.

Reposition the patient for comfort, ensure side rails are raised.

Dispose of the contents of the bed pan in a toilet.

Rinse and clean the bed pan with hot soapy water.

Dry and put the bed pan away.
