I’m sure that in your homes there are tools, equipment and paraphernalia that
you usually use. We use different tools in different situations. Preparing meals,
cleaning and ironing clothes, and taking vital signs are activities in caregiving. Can
you identify at least two (2) tools, equipment and paraphernalia used in caregiving
and its task requirement.

What’s New
How are you coping with our lesson? I hope you are excited about the activities
that we will discuss in this module. Study the situations that follow and do the tasks
that are asked in each situation.
“Mrs. Hazel gave birth to a healthy baby girl and her husband bought a
new feeding bottle sterilizer. However, they wanted to know the purpose and the
proper way of using the sterilizer.
Now, that you have successfully identified the different tools, equipment and
paraphernalia used in caregiving, it is important that you should know how to use
them.
Enjoy reading the information below, then find out how much you can
remember the uses of equipment, tools and paraphernalia based on the task
requirement.
1. Flat Iron 1. Check the label of every garment before ironing. This
is necessary as some fabrics need special care
instructions.
2. Unfold your ironing board near the outlet. Plug in
your iron and choose the appropriate setting based on
the material of the clothes you are ironing.
3. Preheating the flat iron should be done before starting.
You will have to wait about 2-5 minutes to let the iron
warm up.
4. Place and arrange the garment across the ironing
board before you start ironing.
5. Unplug the iron and do not store if it is still hot.
2. Washing Machine 1. The very first step in washing is sorting the clothes.
Separate white and light color from dark-colored
clothes. Also, they should be sorted according to
their material.
2. Wash clothes with heavy fabrics together and clothes
with light fabrics together.
3. Put detergent into the washing machine. Let the
detergent go to the bottom of the washing machine.
4. Put the clothes loosely into the washing machine.
5. Load the laundry as high as the manufacturer
specifies or to the top row of holes in the tub.
6. Close the lid and choose the setting of the washing
machine according to what you are washing.
7. Turn on the machine. Let the unit work through all
of the cycles. Wait for the machine to turn off before
you unload the washed laundry.
8. Load the next batch of clothes and do steps 5 and 6
again until you are done with the laundry.
9. Turn off and unplug the unit.
Are you discovering more! The next will be the most useful equipment and
paraphernalia for checking your patient or client’s Vital Signs.
When caring for an infant, toddler, child, elderly or person with special needs,
measuring the vital signs should be taken with proper care. This module will lead
you to the basic knowledge of taking vital signs. As you learn the different processes,
you will also perform taking vital signs.
But first, let us talk about vital signs. Vital signs are bodily functions that
reflect the body’s state of health and are easily measurable. These are body
temperature, pulse rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure. In some cases, the
pain that a person experiences is considered to be the fifth vital sign.
1. Thermometer
1. Clinical thermometer may be inserted either into the rectum through the
anus (rectal temperature), into the mouth under
the tongue (oral or sub-lingual) or armpit (axillary
temperature).
2. Digital thermometer may be inserted into the mouth under the tongue,
under the armpit or into the anus.
Another important measurement that you should learn to take is the blood
pressure. Blood pressure is the force of the blood pushing against the walls of the
blood vessels. The heart contracts as it pumps the blood into the arteries. When the
heart is contracting, the pressure is highest. This pressure is what we know as the
systolic pressure. Now, as the heart relaxes between each contraction, the pressure
decreases. When the heart is at its most relaxed state, the pressure is lowest. And
we call this diastolic pressure. It is measured using sphygmomanometer. The
following steps will help you measure blood pressure accurately.
Before taking the Blood Pressure of the patient always wash hands and
prepare the equipment you will use.
1. Introduce yourself and let the patient or client know the procedure to be done.
2. Sanitize the earpieces of the stethoscope with an antiseptic pad.
3. Ask your client to rest quietly. Have him/her lie down or sit on a chair
whichever is more comfortable for him/her.
4. If you are using a mercurial apparatus, the measuring scale should be within
the level of your eyes.
5. Expose the arm of your client by rolling the sleeves up. Have your client’s arm
from the elbow down to rest fully extended on the bed or the arm of a chair.
6. Unroll the cuff, loosen the screw and squeeze the cuff with your hands to
remove air completely.
7. Wrap the cuff around your client’s arm above the elbow, not too tight or too
loose.
8. Find your client’s brachial pulse at the inside of the elbow. Hold the
diaphragm there and inflate the cuff until the pulse disappears. Take note of
