Safety is paramount when using a commode chair. Here are some steps to ensure its safe use:
Position the Chair: Place the chair on a flat, stable surface to prevent tipping. Lock the Wheels: If the chair has wheels, ensure they are locked before use. Assist the Patient: Help the patient to sit and stand, especially if they have limited mobility. Use Armrests: Encourage patients to use the armrests for stability while sitting and standing. Empty and Clean: Regularly empty and clean the removable pan to maintain hygiene.
