What is Nursing bag technique?

Answer 1

Great care must be taken to avoid contamination of your nursing bag or any of its contents when you perform home visits. Hence the notion of "nursing bag technique." The nursing bag should never be put on the floor. When the bag is placed on any other surface it should be placed on top of a barrier such as a clean "chux" or other kind of pad brought by the nurse. Alternatively the nurse can place the bag on top of a clean newspaper. Any item taken from the bag should be placed on the barrier if it is necessary to put it down. Items used during the visit should not go back into the bag, but rather placed in a separate disposable bag. No one but the nurse should touch the bag. Remember, the bag or any of its contents can become a means for the spread of germs. On this note: Newspapers are very clean - except for the ink that might get on your hands! They have few germs when they are freshly printed and delivered and can be used to cover a patient in shock (for example at the site of a car accident) or used to wrap a newborn when an emergency delivery occurs in the home or car). I hope this helps a bit.

bag technique is a tool by which the nurse, during her visit will enable her to perform a nursing procedure with ease and deftness, to save time and effort, with the end view of rendering effective nursing care to clients.
