Florence Nightingale And Care For A Patient

Florence Nightingale and care for a patient

Introduction

When one faces for the first time the care of a patient, the most primary action that must be taken into account is the control of the purity of the air. You have to ensure that the patient breathes pure air like the outside. Erroneous caregivers allow the patient for fear of cold, breathing a vitiated air, loaded with particles that had already exhaled. Or what is worse, due to lack of attention, they get to ventilate the room, but with contaminated air from sewers, places with germs, laundry. 

Developing

Closed places are the perfect for disease cultivation. Sometimes we ignore the presence of effluviums, despite feeling them by smelling closed. When ventilating you have to discard thoughts about colds. They do not get in bed with the warm patient, but are mainly captured when they first rise after the fight against the disease. In this a good nurse must be set. Open the windows is essential. Not doing so to keep the patient hot can be the worst of decisions.  

The vitiated air generated by patients is one of the worst air that can breathe. The windows must be kept open as the doors. The purest air is the exterior, and if we ventilate with inner air we will put paint molecules, dust. The good nurse will be pending especially in severe cases of patient’s temperature, a determining factor, it will analyze it by touching feet and hands. And you will be special care during the morning when the patient is more vulnerable.

Ventilating a room does not mean cooling it, the perfect room for a patient is in which the windows are open and a fire that hot the room is on. Another mistake that is made is the fear of night air. Although this is the most pure in the big cities. To keep the perfect atmosphere, it is necessary to keep the chimney in perfect condition and prevent smoke. In the same way, moisture must be attentive, there should not be more than that generated by the patient. Towels and sheets must be airy and dried outside the room. The effluvians of the excreta are also harmful.

conclusion

What is obvious seems not to be in practice. The waste must be removed immediately after their expulsion. Apart, it is necessary that every utensil possesses cover and that this is also washed carefully. Above all, you have to keep the patient’s room free of germs. Avoiding apart from the aforementioned, the presence of dirty waters in the rooms. A nurse does not depend on the germs fumigants, it has to anticipate and prevent them from reaching the patient’s room. For this, air analyzers can be helped.
