Patient bathing is good for well being
Being confined to bed affects an individual’s sense of control and well-being. A bed bath can do wonders to lift a patient’s mood and improve their self-image and comfort. It also offers health benefits because the clinician can more closely examine the skin and stimulate circulation.
