If, however, I was assisting with the repositioning of a patient who is incontinent, I would probably consider hand washing, gloves and an apron. Once I have performed the activity, I would remove aprons and gloves, and dispose of them according to my organisation’s policy. I must wash my hands after patient contact and before moving on to the next person. If I make physical contact with a patient I was my hands, but if no physical contact is made I use an antibacterial gel which is provided by the NHS. Hand gels should only be used as an interim measure until you are able to perform a proper hand wash; they are not a suitable replacement for good hand washing.

According to Korabek and Cuvo (1986), teachers tend to focus on teaching self-care, motor skills, and sometimes the reduction of self-injurious behavior as well as the academic curriculum.

This article, Assessing Contentment and Distress, talks about how nonverbal communication is key in understanding patients who can no longer communicate verbally.

This tool can recognize nonverbal expressions and can tell when these are signs of the patient’s distress. The author of the article explains her experience with the DisDAT and its use on a patient she had with a learning disorder and the final stages of dementia.
Some of the reasons people communicate are to express feelings, build relationships, gain understanding, pass on and receive information, share knowledge and opinions and to help us to anticipate and predict behaviour. People communicate to express their needs and desires and understand and be understood and it allows us to understand and predict the behaviours of others and aids us to make decisions and solve problems. We communicate to meet the needs of others and also ourselves. Effective communication is vital in the work setting as we communicate with a variety of people and we need to ensure we pass on information and listen actively to be able to meet the needs of service users and staff. We have to communicate well with colleagues to ensure the smooth running of things, to make sure information is handed over clearly and to avoid confusion and allow continuity of care and minimise risk.
