Nursing Procedures
Recommended Linen:
Special linens are not necessary for the Arise
®
.
While there is no need for a bottom sheet the
therapy pad should be covering the therapy cells
at all times. The patient should never be lying
directly on the therapy cells. Depending upon the
patient’s specific needs, the following linens may
be utilized:
Draw or slide sheet to aid in positioning and to
further minimize friction and shearing
Incontinence barrier pad for patients
incontinent of urine and/or stool, and patients
with heavily draining wounds
Add top sheet, blanket and/or bedspread as
needed for patient comfort
Keep the amount of padding between
the patient and bed to a minimum for
optimum performance
Changing the Therapy Pad
Place the therapy pad over the therapy cells,
fitting the corner of the cushions into the
corner of the therapy pad. (Similar to a
fitted sheet)
Zip the therapy pad along each side of the
mattress tub.
Patient Positioning and Comfort
General Repositioning
Patients should be turned and repositioned per
individual turning schedule or per facility policy. It
may be helpful to activate the
Autofirm
mode to
achieve a firm surface for repositioning purposes.
The unit will automatically return to the mode
it was in prior to
Autofirm
in approximately 12
minutes or you can manually return to therapy
mode once patient has been repositioned.
Unless counter indicated, it is desirable to keep
the head of the bed in the low position to provide
optimal pressure relief and minimize the risk of
shearing injuries.
