Daily Morning Session of PGI Pithoragarh Nursing Students on Bed Making Procedure
The nursing students of PGI Pithoragarh start their day with a daily morning session on bed-making procedures. This session is an important part of their training, as it helps them develop the skills and knowledge they need to provide safe and comfortable care for their patients.
Bed-making is the procedure of arranging bed accessories, like bedsheets and other bedding, on a bed to prepare it for use. It is a household chore but is also performed in establishments including hospitals, hotels, and military or educational residences.
The session begins with a review of the principles of bed making. The students are then divided into groups and given the opportunity to practice making different types of beds, such as occupied beds, unoccupied beds, and beds for patients with special needs.
The instructors provide feedback and guidance as the students practice. They also emphasize the importance of following standard precautions and using proper techniques to prevent the spread of infection.
The bed making session is a valuable opportunity for nursing students to learn and practice this important skill.
