Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Checking the person often is the best choice as it allows for prompt cleaning and changing of soiled clothing, which can prevent the buildup of odors. Changing the person's clothing every 2 hours may not be necessary if they are not soiling themselves that frequently. Disposing of soiled clothing and linens at the end of the shift may also allow for odors to build up throughout the day. Reminding the person to use the bathroom may not be effective if they are unable to control their bowel movements.
