Bathing Procedure
You are now ready to begin washing the resident. The suggested
bathing time is 5 to 10 minutes.
To bathe the resident, use the following procedures:
See Figure 1 for the location of the controls listed in this section.
1. On Aqua-Aire® Start the air blower by pressing the Aqua-Aire®
ON/OFF button (Figure 1).
2. Push the Bath Oil Dispensing Pump Plunger (Figure 1) to add Penner
Bath Oil to the water. The amount of Penner Bath Oil will vary
according to the resident’s skin condition.
Note: Penner Bath Oil is a non-aqueous, liquid bathing oil
containing refined lanolin similar to natural skin oil. When
combined with water, Penner Bath Oil can penetrate the skin.
This combination of water and oil restores moisture to the
patient’s skin and benefits the nursing attendant, whose hands
are frequently in water. Additionally, the use of Penner
Shampoo & Body Wash reduces the risk of cross-contamination
which can result from sharing a single bar of soap.
