    BED

    BATH
    What is BED BATH?
    A bed bath cleans the skin and helps keep
    the skin free of infection. It helps to relax
    the person being bathed and helps him
    feel better. The nurse may only need to get
    the bath supplies ready and wash the
    patient's back, or may need to do most or
    all of the bath.
    PURPOSES:
    To remove transient microorganisms,
    body secretions and excretions, and dead
    skin cells.

    To prevent and eliminate unpleasant body


    odors.
    To stimulate circulation to the skin.

    To promote a sense of well-being.

    To produce relaxation and comfort.
