Didn't wipe the client?

[@Midnightdarkness-jr2yz]

They have to wipe themselves during bedpan

[@ShelovesJesus25]

Only thing I saw was no bed protector (chuck) under bed pan to prevent bed being soiled

[@ritakennedy-rg9xj]

​@@Midnightdarkness-jr2yzand suppose they don't have the strength to wipe themselves??

[@taiivines4556]

Well then yes ofc you wipe them ,you turn them on their side an proceed to do once the bed pan is removed but this is demonstrated purpose only
