The nursing assistant should make sure the shower is at the proper temperature of 105°F (40.5°C). The older resident needs a shower chair to sit upon instead of asking the resident to stand and hold onto a grab bar. A towel will slip when used on a shower floor. A shower mat should be used instead. The resident should be allowed to choose their own bathing supplies.
