THE NURSE IN
THE HOME
by L0rettO G. Lynch
An Acknowledged Expert in All
Matters Appertaining to House
hold Management.

<IXXY THIN the next few
" weeks we expect to
have a trained nurse
in our home to care for a menu
her Of the family. We have al
ways lived in a small town where
trained nurses were not the rule.
What 1 want to know is just
what the trained nurse is sup
posed to do in the way Of house
keeping and cooking, and what
oourtesies are the members of
the family supposed to shown"
This is part of a letter which
comes in the days mail.
The professional trained nurse
who comes into the home, gen.
orally speaking, is supposed to
concentrate her efforts upon the
patient. That is, she is supposed
to keep the patient clean, keep
the patients room clean and
tidy, administer treatments or
medicines under the doctors d.
rection and cook and serve the
patients food. Where the dis
ease is either infectious or con-
tagious, the nurse is supposed to
disinfect the clothing coming in
contact with, the patient before
it is washed by whomsoever
does the family washing.
The nurses meals are supposed
to be prepared for her and served
to her either at the family din
ing table or at some other place
outside the sick room. Outside
of the ordinary courtesies Of
contact, it is customary for the
nurse to expect nothing but her
salary.
AS the patient nears recovery
the nurse may be expected to
devise such forms of entertain
ment and amusement as the age
of the patient suggests. Reading
to the older patient or cutting
pictures for a child are often
INDUCED in.
