Nurses often incorporate built-up handles into their care plans to facilitate patient participation in ADLs. Here are some common applications:
Feeding: Attaching built-up handles to eating utensils can help patients feed themselves with minimal assistance. Writing: Pens and pencils with built-up handles allow patients to write notes, sign documents, and engage in recreational activities like drawing. Grooming: Adding built-up handles to grooming tools such as toothbrushes, hairbrushes, and razors can help patients maintain personal hygiene.
