To perform oral rinsing effectively, follow these steps:
Ensure the patient is in a comfortable position, preferably sitting upright. Measure the appropriate amount of rinsing solution as recommended. Instruct the patient to swish the solution around the mouth for 30 seconds to 1 minute, targeting all areas, including the gums, teeth, and tongue. Have the patient spit out the solution into a sink or basin. Repeat the process if necessary, depending on the patient's condition and the type of solution used.
