How do you change a hospital bed with a patient in it?

It is really very hard.  The best way is with two people so one can hold the patient will the other works with the sheets.  \n\nRoll your patient on their side and loose the sheets from the corners then push the sheets under the side of patient.  Take new sheet and fit to corners and stuff under the old sheets and patient.  Roll them over on other side and remove old sheets and pull new sheet and fasten to corners.\n\nIf you need assistance I am sure your Red Cross or Hospice  group in your area would show you how to do it.\n\nGood luck

Go visit any hospital's nursing station...and ASK.  The RN's will be happy to tell you. \nSure you'll need to learn how to draw blood and a lot of other euuuuuuie stuff.  But, unfortunately most RNs don't get to do enough of the 'hands-on' stuff, but are (as they'll voluntarily tell you) becoming 'pencil-pushers'; it's a known fact in the medical field that the Nurse's Assistant or the LPNs will have more contact with the patient.  But, only an RN can 'manage' a nurse's station.

Find out the name of the Hospital where she works. You could pretend you were visiting some patient in the same ward where she is on duty.

Just send a letter to the place where you received the care. I am a nurse and trust me, we really love to see the letters of people that have been please with their care. You address it to the president of the hospital or call the hospital and see who you need to address it to.

It depends where you are in Washington.  Most large cities have medical supply companies and if you contacted one you should be able to rent a bed.  In the Vancouver area I know of CARE Medical and LinCare because my mom got her oxygen equipment from them.  Lincare is pretty much statewide so you can probably find them anywhere.  If you're in the Seattle or Spokane area there are probably more choices.  You can either look in the yellow pages or call the hospital and ask them to help you find somewhere to rent from.

I'm a CNA and I work in a nursing home and I have to deal with this problem all day long.  What helps to roll a person is to take a sheet and fold it up so that it lies the width of the bed between the knees and the top of the person's back.  To roll the person from side to side you can use this sheet to pull the person to the side that their back will face, and then pull up on the sheet to roll them the direction you want them to face.  It is easier to roll them if you bend the knee that will be on top over towards the side you are rolling them to - same thing goes for the arms.  Once you get them rolled on their side (you don't have to roll them completely on their side, just get one side of their body a little off the mattress) place a pillow under their back to hold them in place.  Remember to place pillows in other ares to prevent pressure sores as well.  Common places for this would be under the arms to get their elbows off of the mattress, and under the knees so that their heels are elevated off of the bed.  Remember to switch positions at least every two hours, and more often if the person is particularily prone to pressure ulcers, ideally every half-hour or sooner if the person complains of their comfort.  Hope this helps!  If you begin to see red marks appear that are indicators of pressure ulcers, "A & D Ointment" works wonders!

Go to front desk or call patient information and ask them.

if its an emergent situation you immediately have the patient lie down with his legs above his head and get him to a hospital where they'll infuse fluids, and probably give medications.  as far as low b/p being a chronic problem, i suggest you talk to your own trusted healthcare professional for a healthy way to combat the problem.

it depends in what context the handover is being done, \n\nif it was like a medical setting the questions i would ask would be\n1. are there any new patients? if there are then get the info on them first.\n2. any major changes to the existing patients\n3.any staff who are off?\n\nobviously you could ask a lot more questions than that but i think these would be the most important\n\njust to remind this is in a medical context you'd have to change it to suit your own situation

PLace the gait belt around the patients waist and fasten the belt snuggly.  You should be able to get your hands between the patient and the belt but the belt should not ride up.  If the belt seems to slide up then you don't have it on tight enough.  Place your hands between the belt and the patient and grab onto the belt using the belt to lift the patient up out of the chair, bed or whatever.
