Keeping Patient Comfortable.

A nurses chief duty is to keep the
patient comfortable. This requires at
tention to many little details which are
overlooked too often in the sick room.
Night lights are usually shaded from
the patients eyes, but it is a frequent
experience to find the patients bed so
placed that the patient faces a win
dow. A patient may enjoy looking out
through a window, yet the bed may be
so arranged that this is possible,
though the direct light does not fall
upon the patients eyes.
No nurse with the interest of her
patient at heart will whisper in or
near the sick room about anything
whatever
Cleanliness prevents odors. Evapo-
rating evil-smelling "disinfectants" in
the sick room, from dishes or wet
cloths, of course cannot kill any germs
or in any way help the patient, even
though it does give the "antiseptic
nurse something to busy her mischiev-
Gus hands with. Cleanliness, good ven
tilation and the immediate disposal of
| discharges or dressings will take care
of unpleasant odors. If not, then 1t is
the doctors place to advise what will.
Every patient confined to bed should
have daily bath. This is indispens-
able for personal comfort.
A daily back-rub is equally refresh
ing for the bed-ridden patient. The
patient lies prone while the nurse rubs
the small of the back with the palm of
the hand wet with alcohol. Slow. cir

pressure, outward from the spine over

cleanliness of the patients mouth

tongue by gentle scraping with the
handle of scissors. A soft cloth tied
