Bag Technique Definition Bag technique-a tool making use of public health bag through which the nurse, during his/her home visit, can perform nursing procedures with ease and deftness, saving time and effort with the end in view of rendering effective nursing care. Public health bag – is an essential and indispensable equipment of the public health nurse which he/she has to carry along when he/she goes out home visiting. It contains basic medications and articles which are necessary for giving care.

Rationale To render effective nursing care to clients and /or of the family during home visit.

Principles The use of the bag technique should minimize if not totally prevent the spread of infection from individuals to families, hence, to the community. 2. Bag technique should save time and effort on the part of the nurse in the performance of nursing procedures. 3. Bag technique should not overshadow concern for the patient rather should show the effectiveness of total care given to an individual or family. 4. Bag technique can be performed in a variety of ways depending upon agency policies, actual home situation, etc., as long as principles of avoiding transfer of infection is carried out. 1.

Special Considerations in the Use of the Bag The bag should contain all necessary articles, supplies and equipment which may be used to answer emergency needs. The bag and its contents should be cleaned as often as possible, supplies replaced and ready for use at any time. The bag and its contents should be well protected from with any article in the home of the patients. Consider the bag and it’s contents clean and /or sterile while any article belonging to the patient as dirty and contaminated. The arrangement of the contents of the bag should be the one most convenient to the to facilitate the efficiency and avoid confusion. Hand washing is done as frequently as the situation calls for, helps in minimizing or avoiding contamination of the bag and its contents. The bag when used for a communicable case should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before keeping and re-using. Contents of the Bag Paper lining Extra paper for making bag for waste materials (paper bag) Plastic linen/lining Apron Hand towel in plastic bag Soap in soap dish Thermometers in case [one oral and rectal] 2 pairs of scissors [1 surgical and 1 bandage] 2 pairs of forceps [ curved and straight] Syringes [5 ml and 2 ml]

Steps/Procedures Actions

Rationale

1. Upon arriving at the client’s home, place the bag on the table or any flat surface lined with paper lining, clean side out (folded part touching the table). Put the bag’s handles or strap beneath the bag.

To protect the bag from contamination.

2. Ask for a basin of water and a glass of water if faucet is not available. Place these outside the work area.

To be used for handwashing. To protect the work field from being wet.

3. Open the bag, take the linen/plastic lining and spread over work field or area. The paper lining, clean side out (folded part out).

To make a non-contaminated work field or area.

4. Take out hand towel, soap dish and apron and the place them at one corner of the work area (within the confines of the linen/plastic lining).

To prepare for handwashing.

5. Do handwashing. Wipe, dry with towel. Leave the plastic wrappers of the towel in a soap dish in the bag.

Handwashing prevents possible infection from one care provid to the client.

6. Put on apron right side out and wrong side with crease touching the body, sliding the head into

To protect the nurses’ uniform. Keeping the crease creates

the neck strap. Neatly tie the straps at the back.

aesthetic appearance.

7. Put out things most needed for the specific case (e.g.) thermometer, kidney basin, cotton ball, waste paper bag) and place at one corner of the work area.

To make them readily accessible.

8. Place waste paper bag outside of work area.

To prevent contamination of clean area.

9. Close the bag.

To give comfort and security, maintain personal hygiene and hasten recovery.

10. Proceed to the specific nursing care or treatment.

To prevent contamination of bag and contents.

11. After completing nursing care or treatment, clean and alcoholize the things used.

To protect caregiver and prevent spread of infection to others

12. Do handwashing again. 13. Open the bag and put back all articles in their proper places. 14. Remove apron folding away from the body, with soiled sidefolded inwards, and the clean side out. Place it in the bag. 15. Fold the linen/plastic lining, clean; place it in the bag and close the bag. 16. Make post-visit conference on matters relevant to health care, taking anecdotal notes preparatory to final reporting.

To be used as reference for future visit.

17. Make appointment for the next visit (either home or clinic), taking note of the date, time and purpose.

For follow-up care.

After Care 1. 2.

Before keeping all articles in the bag, clean and alcoholize them. Get the bag from the table, fold the paper lining ( and insert), and place in between the flaps and cover the bag. Evaluation and Documentation

1.

Record all relevant findings about the client and of the family.

2. 3. 4.

Take note of environmental factors which affect the clients/family health. Include quality of nurse-patient relationship. Assess effectiveness of nursing care provided.

Duration of Protection

There is no contraindication to immunization except when the child is immunosuppressed or is very, very ill (but not slight fever or cold). Or if the child experienced convulsions after a DPT or measles vaccine, report such to the doctor immediately. Malnutrition is not a contraindication for immunizing children rather; it is an indication for immunization since common childhood diseases are often severe to malnourished children.

Cold Chain under EPI                  

Cold Chain is a system used to maintain potency of a vaccine from that of manufacture to the time it is given to child or pregnant woman. The allowable timeframes for the storage of vaccines at different levels are: 6months- Regional Level 3months- Provincial Level/District Level 1month-main health centers-with ref. Not more than 5days- Health centers using transport boxes. Most sensitive to heat: Freezer (-15 to -25 degrees C) OPV Measles Sensitive to heat and freezing (body of ref. +2 to +8 degrees Celsius) BCG DPT Hepa B TT Use those that will expire first, mark “X”/ exposure, 3rd- discard, Transport-use cold bags let it stand in room temperature for a while before storing DPT. Half life packs: 4hours-BCG, DPT, Polio, 8 hours-measles, TT, Hepa B. FEFO (“first expiry and first out”) – vaccine is practiced to assure that all vaccines are utilized before the expiry date. Proper arrangement of vaccines and/or labeling of vaccines expiry date are done to identify those near to expire vaccines.

Integrated Management of Childhood Illnesses (IMCI)  

Definition IMCI is an integrated approach to child health that focuses on the well-being of the whole child. IMCI strategy is the main intervention proposed to achieve a significant reduction in the number of deaths from communicable diseases in children under five Goal



By 2010, to reduce the infant and under five mortality rate at least one third, in pursuit of the goal of reducing it by two thirds by 2015. Aim

 

 

To reduce death, illness and disability, and to promote improved growth and development among children under 5 years of age. IMCI includes both preventive and curative elements that are implemented by families and communities as well as by health facilities. IMCI Objectives To reduce significantly global mortality and morbidity associated with the major causes of disease in children To contribute to the healthy growth & development of children

IMCI Components of Strategy Improving case management skills of health workers § Improving the health systems to deliver IMCI Improving family and community practices

  

**For many sick children a single diagnosis may not be apparent or appropriate
