What is the correct way to remove a soiled brief?

Rolling a soiled brief inward, working from front to back, is the appropriate method because it minimizes the risk of contamination and helps contain any waste material within the brief itself. This technique ensures that the soiled side is rolled away from the caregiver and the skin of the resident, reducing the chances of spreading bacteria or causing discomfort.

Additionally, this approach allows for better control while removing the brief, making it easier to clean the area afterward. The process of rolling inward also helps to prevent accidental spills, which can occur if the brief is lifted straight up or if it is folded improperly. By rolling from front to back, caregivers can seamlessly maintain hygiene protocols while providing care, ensuring that they prioritize the health and safety of the resident.
