When assisting a resident with toileting, what is the correct sequence of actions?

Question

Accepted Answer

Help resident to toilet, stay nearby for safety, assist with perineal care, help to standing. The correct sequence is: assist to toilet, remain nearby for safety (do not leave resident alone on toilet if at risk of falling), provide perineal care/hygiene, help to standing, and then assist with hand washing. Leaving a resident alone on the toilet is unsafe and a fall risk. Always ensure proper hygiene immediately after toileting and maintain safety throughout.
