| Description: | This educational film deals with the proper distribution, inventory, useage, and laundering of hospital linens. It opens with a montage of health care workers bundling and receiving new linens (MS's and LS's of nurses aides, RN's, linen workers, supervisors,etc) and features... CU of computer data sheet... CU of key labeled "linen" opening door... LS of a 'well managed' linen room... MS of nurses aide prepping patient bed... CU of soiled linen being placed in a hamper... MS of a patient toilet and adjacent hamper and description of how to handle incontinent patients' linens... MS of trash chute emptying into large basket... montage of ambulance drivers entering a hospital with an empty gurney and then leaving with a middle-aged woman. There is a detailed description of all processes involved and the film ends with a bizarre shot of a female adult patient in her bed fondling her pillow until she falls asleep (the look on her face suggests utter discomfort, alienation, and helplessness). | |
