Study Tips for Personal Care

  1. Always work from clean to dirty — for perineal care, always wipe front to back.
  2. Weak or affected limb rules: dress the weak side first, undress the strong side first.
  3. Passive range of motion should be performed slowly and stopped at the point of resistance — never force a joint.
  4. Always explain each step of care to the client before performing it, even if they cannot respond.
