Caring for the elderly in different conditions is a challenge for caregivers, who must be technically professional, attentive and careful. If they can often summarise the regularity and manner, and practice activities in many aspects, then the caregiver will definitely gain the approval of the elderly and the general public. Today, I have prepared a list of factors and standards that caregivers should be aware of when caring for the elderly on a daily basis, which I hope will assist them. In addition, relatives of the elderly should also be aware of this content, which will no doubt be of great benefit.
The six elements of care for the elderly]
1. Mental state care: The elderly are very prone to fear of loneliness and helplessness, so care staff should give them plenty of attention and assistance.
2. Good safety care: safe medication and patient safety for the elderly.
3. Good diet with specific guidance: elderly patients often suffer from diabetic patients, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, diffuse acute bronchitis, etc. Nursing staff should give specific guidance to patients on reasonable meals and cultivate an excellent diet structure.
4. Do basic nursing care: nursing staff should be careful to implement the nursing care grading system and do basic nursing care for patients in accordance with the requirements.
5. Do a good job of patient observation and checking: nursing staff should inspect hospital wards more often during the medical treatment period of elderly patients, observe and check patients' cardiac monitoring more often, communicate with patients more often, deal with abnormalities in a timely manner and report to physicians immediately.
6. Be gentle in the nursing operation process and prevent rudeness.
Five major standards of care for the disabled elderly]
1. Don't be rude, don't look, not a traditional virtue: the daily life of the elderly with disabilities requires help or complete reliance on others, which includes very personal care such as cleaning the perineum, changing nappies, human power to remove stools, etc. Therefore, we should not choose not to carry out care for the elderly in order to better value their personal privacy and follow the "don't be rude, don't look "2. to hold small titles, small-minded: the care of the disabled elderly is a matter of holding small titles, small-minded, to pay great attention to the small changes in the physiology and psychological state of the elderly, never let go of the small hidden positions, reduce the latent elements that are not good for the elderly. 3. three times a day: the disabled elderly The very large level of just action is restricted, especially the medium to slight elderly people with disabilities, their brains and concepts are still very clear, in the whole process of care, we have to fully consider the thoughts and experiences of the elderly, careful words and actions, to ensure that something is done and something is not done. 4. things will be reversed, the gentleman and different: all elderly people with disabilities are a correlation, that is, action is restricted, but each elderly person with disabilities The details of each elderly person's situation and the level of their disability vary. The whole process of care should follow the core concept of "gentleman and different", with certain distinctions and selective scientific research on care. 5. Leverage energy: care work must consume energy, in the whole process of care, we should learn to use clever force, learn to leverage the momentum, so that caregivers can save energy and make the elderly comfortable.
Daily care for the elderly with dementia]
1. remember who it is: remember the elderly person's hobbies and habits, and help him remember things he can't remember based on photos, diaries, etc. 2. smile: a smile has a strong appeal, and a genuine smile can make the other party feel happy. 3. slow down the rate: speak to the elderly person at a slower pace and with a lighter tone; give them more time to do things without having to supervise. 4. help If he is angry, take a step back: this can give the other party space in the room and prevent himself from being hurt. Keep the house quiet and do not make noise: Do not take the elderly to areas where there are many people and noise, otherwise not only will they not be able to hear each other, but they will also be very likely to lose control of their emotions. 8. Participate and motivate: Take the elderly to participate in interesting and more meaningful themed activities, thank him for his application and watchfulness, and express gratitude for his participation. 10. Distract from concentration: Take him to a relaxed venue such as a park and chat with him to distract him from concentration. 11. Communicate with others: Suggest more communication with people in similar financial situations in the family and share success stories with each other. 12. Beware of sudden changes: Check for sudden changes in the elderly, such as high fever, dryness, pain, gonorrhoea, etc., and seek immediate medical attention if necessary.
