Book: Personal Care

9. Summary

In this section we have outlined what we mean by personal care. And we have examined how we can provide positive care when washing, dressing and toileting our loved one. We have tried to show how the provision of personal care will require good communication techniques.

Don't forget to use your Week 4: Care Delivery Action Plan to record how you can use the material in this topic in your care of your loved one.
