1) Remove the heat source, and remove the clothing\n2) Use flowing cold water to cool down the burnt member\n3) If severe pain is present, then some pain killers may be administered\n4) Surgical operation, and some plastic surgery is needed most of the time. New trends are available in this field, summarized as "planting" some tissues from other non-affected members

Not to be embarrassed, it's all part of being a human being. Things don't work perfectly all the time like they're 'supposed to.'\n\nAll the health things that others have mentioned are good ideas. Eat a healthy diet with plenty of fiber, because my guess is that you're not getting enough, even if this is being partly caused by something like hemorrhoids. Drink plenty of fluids, as well--at least 8 glasses of water a day. If you do that, you shouldn't even need stool softeners.\n\nExcersizing regularly can only help, too. It will strengthen the muscles that aid in elimination, and tone the rest of the muscles in the body, as well as increase your circulation.\n\nIf you find yourself in a jam in a social situation, do what the other person said in terms of showering. But also, there are wipes that you can keep by the toilet--they use them for vaginal and hemorrhoidal wipes (Tucks, I think). They can help to have around in case you can't take a shower, at least it's like a 'hand bath' for that area.\n\nWhen you're rich and well-off if you still are having that problem, you can always have a bidet installed in your bathroom. Lol. No wonder the French are som comfortable!\n\nFeel better.\n\n______________________

Lay down on the floor, flat on your back. Then lift your shoulders and neck forward slightly to feel your neck tighten up. Another exercise is to look forward, towards an object, keep your neck straight and lift your chin up and out, hold for a few seconds and return to normal. Do 2-3 sets of these exercises and set the reps to what you feel comfortable and suitable for your time allotted. Don't over do it or you will cause muscle strainand thats painful. But this will h elp you out with repition. Good luck.

you need to work out the muscles in your shoulders, upper back, and upper chest.  Most important here is your rotator cuff is one of the most important muscles to work.  When working out your rotator cuff, be careful, it is a very small muscle that only takes very little resistance to properly work out.  You can very easily damage the muscle if you work it too vigorously.  You can find exercises on line, or look for upper body workout books.  Make sure you get one that is specifically for men or women.  Our bodies require different intensities.

I had one for many years...if it's an organic problem, I would recommend "home traction". You get a weight, tie a rope around it, and place it over a door in your house. The other end of the rope gets attached to the body part that needs to be lifted, such as a back or neck brace...You can sit there for 15-30 minutes at a time reading, and being lifted, slightly!\n\nSometimes a physical problem generates a lot of stress & anxiety. In that case, I would recommend getting a prescription for a muscle-relaxer, or even drink some alchol, but only when you are in severe pain, otherwise you can start an addiction. This is how many professional athletes become addicted to medications which relieve pain...

This not the place to diagnosis.  talk to your doctor and ask  about roto cuff issues.  Get a MRI

They use wet wipes for their bodies.  They use rinseless shampoos that hospitals use for people who can't bathe.

There are a very wide variety of treatment techniques employed by Physical Therapist (physiotherapist is synonymous with physical therapist, term used depends where you are).  Some PT's such as myself are very hands-on, manual therapy and exercise oriented while others are more passive and tend to use a lot of modalities such as heat, electrical stimulation, etc.  It isn't that I don't use those things but it is not the primary way I care for a patient.\nThere are hundreds of different treatments for the shoulders.  The ones chosen depends on the PT and your presentation.  Every patient is different so one treatment for a patient that has shoulder problems may be totally different from another with should problems.  \nWhen you go see a PT they should do a full examination (such things as testing strength, range of motion, flexibility, joint mobility, soft tissue mobility, assessment of posture and walking mechanics, assessment of your daily activities, etc - these are just some examples of the components of an examination).  They will then go over their findings with you and tell you how they are going to address them and may give you some examples of treatments that they are going to do.  I hope this helps and please feel free to ask if you have anymore questions.

first aid for bleeding: Direct pressure and elevation of the wound should take care of the immediate problem.  fracture:  immobilize it, by strapping it to an immovable object such as, for an arm put it in a sling and tie the sling to the body, for a leg pad two 2x4s , strap them to each side of the leg

If you are in a public place you turn off the faucets with the paper towel you use to dry your hands. If you are at home, you are O.K. because you know those faucets are clean. If you are at someone's home, use the towel you dried your hands on. \n\nI think every bathroom in homes should have paper towels and not cloth towels.

Sounds like you have injured your rotator cuff.  Go to a doctor, get some x-rays, lay off using the shoulder for lifting weights.  Put ice on the shoulder to reduce swelling, and then heat to make the muscles relax.  Get a massage.  \n\nThe best you can do is to go to your doctor and get a professional opinion.  \n\nCheers, K

helping to groom, bathe,feed patients, following nursing care plans. This depends on how mobile the patients are. If you work on a floor with patients that can do all of the above themselves then you would just assist them in any way needed.The less mobile they are,the more help they will need.And to the other answerer: we don't give sponge baths unless the person can not get out of bed at all. If they are in a wheelchair, there is a special shower room where other nurses aides help them shower as well as mobile patients. Its a giant shower room where they just help them shower. And we don't use sponges. We use wash cloths.

After childbirth if there is a small laceration we suggest that you use a solution of betadine and water every time you go to the bathroom.  So put this solution in a squirt bottle and use it after you go to the bathroom and then just pat dry.  If it hurts try wearing a pantyliner with witch-hazel pads. If you get a fever or start to hurt worse call your Dr.
