Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using a bedpan is very uncomfortable, and the discomfort alone can cause the person to have difficulty using it. If the person's condition allows, raising the head of the bed, not lowering it, will promote a more natural elimination position. Washing the person's hands should occur after using the bedpan. It is the nursing assistant's responsibility to position the bedpan appropriately.
