LESSON II

THE PATIENT

1. Care of the bed.--The bed of a sick person should be kept specially
clean and fresh. The linen should be changed every day, or oftener if
soiled. Where the supply of linen is limited, or where there is pressure
of work, a good airing and sunning may occasionally take the place of
laundering.

In making the bed, it should be kept in mind that the under sheet
requires unusual tucking in at the head, to prevent its slipping down
and becoming wrinkled. The upper sheet should receive extra attention at
the foot, as it is apt to pull up.

When changing the sheets with the patient in bed, work as deftly and
quietly as possible. Have the clean sheets warmed and the room
comfortably heated. Begin with the under sheet as follows:

(1) To change the under sheet.--Turn the
patient over on the side away from you and fold
the soiled sheet in flat folds close to the
body. Lay the clean sheet on the side of the
bed near you, tuck it in, and fold half of it
against the roll of soiled sheet, so that both
can be slipped under the body at once. Turn the
patient back to the opposite side, on the clean
sheet, pull out the soiled sheet, and tuck the
clean one smoothly in place.

(2) To change the upper sheet.--Loosen all the
clothes at the foot of the bed. Spread a clean
sheet and blanket, wrong side up, on top of the
other bedclothes. Pin the clean clothes at the
head of the bed or get the patient to hold
them. Gradually slip down and draw out the
soiled sheet and blanket. Tuck all in place.

2. Care of the diet.--Recovery from sickness in many cases depends more
upon the right kind of food than on medicine. The importance of proper
diet should have been impressed on the minds of the pupils by their
lessons on food, in the Junior Grade of Form IV. They may now be shown
that, in sickness, the responsibility of the choice of food is
