Hygiene Care

Dry Mouth
A dry mouth can be caused by decreased fluid intake, decreased saliva, mouth breathing, using oxygen, some medications, and some treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation.

Foot and Nail Care
Foot and nail care are important for general health and comfort.

Hand Washing
Washing your hands properly and frequently is the one of the best ways to prevent the spread of germs and infection.

Mouth Care
Keeping the mouth moist and clean is important for comfort. The membranes of the mouth and the lips are very sensitive. Good mouth care may help prevent bad breath, dryness, infections, and irritation and may help increase appetite.
