The "5 smiles" technique:
To ensure the most comfortable position (seated or lying), it is
imperative that the carers remove any tension occurring on the
skin when the user's head or feet are raised.
First Smile: move and reposition the pillow (Illustration 19).
Second and third Smile: relieve the skin tension under the
shoulders (Illustration 20) on each side. Use the Immedia
MultiGlide glove and place the gloved hand under the user
and slowly move it down towards the bed end.
Fourth and fifth Smile: relieve the skin tension under the legs
(Illustration 21) one leg at the time. Use the Immedia MultiGlide
glove and place the gloved hand under the buttocks and slowly
move it towards the bed end.
Seated position:
Once the carer has ensured that any tension on the skin is
released, they can support the user in the seated/lying position
with positioning wedges or positioning pillows.
