Implementation:
Upon arriving at the client’s home, place the bag on the table or any flat surface lined with paper lining, clean side out (folded part touching the table). Put bag’s handle or strap beneath the bag. Ask for a basin of water and a glass of water if faucet is not available. Place these outside the work area. Take out hand towel, soap dish and apron and place them at one corner of the work area (within the confines of the linen/plastic lining). Do hand washing. Wipe, dry with towel. Leave the plastic wrappers of the towel in soap dish in the bag. Put on apron right side out and wrong side with crease touching the body, sliding the head into the neck strap. Neatly tie the straps at the back. Put out things most needed for the specific case (e.g. thermometer, kidney basin, cotton ball, waste paper bag) and place at one corner of the work area. Place waste paper bag outside of work area. Close the bag. Proceed to the specific nursing care or treatment. After completing nursing care or treatment, clean and alcoholized the things used. Do hand washing again. Open the bag and put back all articles in their proper places. Remove apron folding away from the body, with soiled side folded inwards, and the clean side out. Place it in the bag. Fold the lien/plastic lining, clean: place it in the bag and close the bag. Make post-visit conference on matters relevant for future visit health care, taking anecdotal notes preparatory to final reporting. Make appointment for the next visit (either home or clinic), taking note of the date, time and purpose.
