How often do hospital patients get bathed?

Asked by kneesox (4593points) October 21st, 2021

Both in “normal” (pre-Covid) times and now?

I was in the hospital once for surgery. I did get some sponge baths. But I was young and my hair was oily, ugh. I had to ask several times to get my hair washed, and it took a week to get help with it.

How much of a priority does bathing get now when so many people are hospitalized, especially when they’re hooked up to a hundred devices? What happens?
