- Je bekeek:SAMMARRY NOTES FOR ATI FUNDAMENTALS CREATED BY DOCTOR FINDRANTEZ Providing oral care for an unconscious client requires careful attention to ensure safety and prevent complications such as aspiration. Here are the steps a nurse should take: 1. **Prepare the Supplies** - Gather all necessary supplies: oral swabs, toothbrush, toothpaste, a cup of water, a suction machine with suction catheter or Yankauer suction tip, a towel, and a basin. 2. **Ensure Proper Positioning** - Position the client on their side with their head turned to the side. This helps to prevent aspiration by allowing fluids to drain out of the mouth. - If the client cannot be turned on their side, raise the head of the bed to at least 30 degrees. 3. **Protect the Client's Clothing and Bedding** - Place a towel or waterproof pad under the client’s head and neck to protect the bedding. 4. **Perform Hand Hygiene and Wear Gloves** - Wash your hands thoroughly and put on gloves to maintain asepsis. 5. **Check the Client’s Mouth** - Gently open the client’s mouth using a padded tongue blade if necessary. - Inspect the mouth for any sores, dryness, or other abnormalities.
