Warm – up Notes Student act. Closure act. Agenda Objective: How to properly use a bedpan / urinal

What are bedpans and urinals? Bedpans and urinals are devices that allows a person in bed to urinate or have a bowel movement . A man uses a bedpan for having a BM but usually prefers to use a urinal to urinate. Women usually use a bedpan for having BMs and urinating, but there are also urinals made for women.

Types of bedpans There are two types of bedpans: the fracture or orthopedic ( left ) and the standard bedpan (right)

- Amounts may be measured and recorded if an intake and output record is being kept for pt. - Abnormalities in any case must be reported immediately and a specimen must be saved from examination
