Have you ever considered what you would like to happen to your locks should you become admitted as a patient to a hospital for some time and unable to care for yourself? What about if you end up in a long-term care facility?I really hadn't myself until the other day. I was assigned a young pt who was unresponsive with shoulder length locks. A part of my job responsibility is washing/bathing pts. We use leave in shampoo/conditioner. I didnt wash the pt's hair that day and instead talked to pt's mother about what she wanted used to maintain pt's hair. In the hospital and long-term care settings, we are either unfamiliar or unprepared to care for dreadlocks. Not to mention the question of how to let them dry while you're bedridden.Just a thought.
