She has poor safety awareness and requires use of bed alarm.
Teaching Plan
The first clinical day, my resident was in bed eating breakfast, with food particles observed on face and food in dentures, but otherwise well groomed. Her hair was combed, and she was neatly dressed. After the meal, while assisting resident in washing the food particles from her face I noticed she also had bad breath. Staff reports resident would sometimes not allow them to assist her in oral care after breakfast. Resident has full dentures in good condition. My teaching plan would include the importance of good oral hygiene especially after meals. It promotes a sense of well being while preventing deterioration of the oral cavity.
