Do Hospice Nurses Change Diapers?

Do Hospice Nurses Change Diapers?

Yes, hospice nurses may change diapers as part of their caregiving duties. Hospice care providers are skilled in providing personal care and hygiene assistance to individuals who cannot care for themselves due to their medical condition. This may include changing diapers or other incontinence products, bathing, and dressing. Hospice nurses and aides are trained to provide this care compassionately and dignifiedly while respecting the individual’s privacy and preferences. Hospice care providers can also work with the individual and their family to develop a care plan that meets their needs and preferences.
