Clean Bedding

If the patient is spending most or all of the time in bed, regular bedding changes are important. If the patient is unable to leave the bed, it may be helpful to change half the bed first, then help the patient turn, and change the other half. Several pillows should be used to give the patient support during this process. Extra pillows can be used to support the patient’s back, and placed between the legs while the patient is lying on their side.
