Night shift
I start work at 19.45 we have a handover meeting this is to discuss all the residents and what has happened in the course of the day and to see if there is any action required I:E observations.
My unit is split into to 2 floors so after the handover two people go downstairs 1 stays on the floor the other does 1-1 on a resident, this is because they are a danger to themselves. The people that are upstairs care for the residents,1 stays on the floor while two go round the room of the residents that are in bed to make sure they are safe or if they need personal care, if they do we use gloves to assist them withering pad change,bedding change,or clothes. If we have to do any of these we dispose of the soiled pad in a plastic bag and then disposed in the clinical waste. If the residents have soiled bedding or clothes they are put in a red bag and put in laundry.
Throughout the night we do hourly checks this is to make sure they are safe and not fell out of bed or anything else,we also do several pad rounds throughout the night
The residents that are up when we start work are assisted to there room when they are ready for bed they are given personnel care clean pad and nightwear put on and assisted into bed.
