PERSONAL HYGIENE AND SANITATION REQUIREMENTS
The alternative means to personal hygiene can be baby wipes, personal wipes, or alcohol-based rubs. Family can also be used to clean the patient during emergencies. The alternative means to sanitation, if toilets are inoperable, is kitty litter, bags in toilet, or bucket brigade. Limit changes of bed linen to those patients who have gross soiling from draining wounds, catheters, etc. Environmental Services use of water will be curtailed to the extent of one change of water per day for mopping except in surgery, delivery rooms, and isolation areas. The hospital has a means for an emergency water connection and is located at the northwest corner of the facility in the Plant Operations area. The Plant Operation department will coordinate the connection in coordination with a water supplier and contractor, such as Oasis Water Company, Oro Valley Water Company, or Golder Ranch Fire Department.
