Hygiene
Personal care that maintains cleanliness and skin integrity.
Personal hygiene maintains cleanliness, skin integrity, comfort, and dignity while reducing infection risk. The bath is an ideal time to inspect the skin head to toe for redness or breakdown. Reposition immobile clients at least every two hours and keep the skin clean and dry to prevent pressure injuries.
