The season for sneezes, coughs, sniffles, fevers and influenza is fast approaching, and with it mother the cook, laundress, ''.shopper and housecleaner takes on the. additional role of home nurse. Mothers should plan a routine to fit sickroom chores into family life. This relieves some of the extra strain illness in the home brings to them and other family members. The drug industry -sponsored Council on Family Health in Canada says you can save yourself worry and extra steps by making out a work plan. Write down what needs to be done for the patient, the home and the rest -of ,he family, then fit them together so everything can be accomplished. The council says ' little children get into accidents when they are hungry or insufficiently supervised, so regular mealtimes must be maintained. Make sure your children are in a safe play area while you are in the patient's room. And there's more to being a good home nurse than knowing how to give medicine properly. A cheerful attitude and pleasant atmosphere in the home are also important aids'. to recovery, says the council, a non-profit public service organization, •which promotes family health and safety. Here are some professional guides to help you think like a -nurse: Wash your hands whenever you deillfOthirnd for the patient, and . again • after .your task is. completed. , Keep bed linens. free frOrn:. . wrinkles and crumbs, whicuu can . cause discomfort arid bedsoxes. Be careful notjt.o shake .dust or lint into the ai* of the room when changing bed linens. And use a damp cloth'when cleaning the sickroom ... dust can be discomforting to a sick person. If the patient is a small child or helpless adult, place chairs , against the side of the bed to prevent t'he patient from rolling over the side. If there is no regular bed` table for servingli_ meals, adjust an ironing board so one end projects over the bed. Try to make trays. neat, attractive and colorful when preparing and serving meals. Change the- patient's position frequently, to avoid continuous pressure on°any skin area, and if the pressure of covers bothers th4 patient, , use a roiled -up blanket or pillow at the foot to lift the weight. • Ventilate the room, but make sure the patient is not in a draft. Let out stale air and let in fresh air by opening the window from the top and bottom. If there is no screen to protect th, patient ... improvise one. Place chairs between the bed and the window and cover the chairs with blankets. The council also advises' mother to urge the family to keep noise to a minimum, because ill persons are unusually sensitive to noise.
