The nurse is preparing to delegate a bath for a 90-year-old client who is nonresponsive and has mild skin breakdown. which type of bath will the nurse delegate to the unlicensed assistive personnel (uap)?
The nurse must delegate the UAP to give the patient a bath depending on what kind of sore the patient has. Considering that it is only a mild breakdown, mild soap and warm water will do. If there is a recommended cleanser, then use it. It is also important to keep the bath warm for the patient and to avoid water from spraying on the patient's face.
