Dressings.

protecting
them
from
external
injuries,
absorbing
discharges,
protecting
the
surrounding
parts,
insuring
cleanliness,
and
as
a
means
of
applying
various
medicines.

Rules.
The
following
rules
should
be
attended
to
in
applying
dressings:
i.
Always
prepare
the
new
dressing
before
removing
the
old
one.
ii.
Always
have
hot
and
cold
water
at
hand,
and
a
vessel
to
place
the
foul
dressings
in.
iii.
Have
one
or
more
persons
at
hand
ready
to
assist,
and,
to
prevent
confusion,
tell
each
person
what
they
are
to
do
before
you
commence;
thus,
one
is
to
wash
out
and
hand
the
sponges,
another
to
heat
the
adhesive
plaster,
or
hand
the
bandages
and
dressings,
and,
if
requisite,
a
third
to
support
the
limb,
&c.
iv.
Always
stand
on
the
outside
of
a
limb
to
dress
it.
v.
Place
the
patient
in
as
easy
a
position
as
possible,
so
as
not
to
fatigue
him.
vi.
Arrange
the
bed
after
changing
the
dressings;
but
in
some
cases
you
will
have
to
do
so
before
the
patient
is
placed
on
it.
