Answer to Question 1

Place the weak arm into the garment first and the strong arm last. This will create confidence in the person and make it less challenging to get the person dressed.

Answer to Question 2

You must make the person aware that he or she has had an accident in the incontinent pad, the under-garments need to be removed, and you will need to help him or her clean up the accident. Many times this is a dignity issue. The way you express the steps of care is important. The person must not feel bad about the need for help. It is a delicate situation.
