Body appearance is socially valued but at significant risk through surgery and nursing actions. The use of drips, drains and catheters all disrupt body boundaries. It is important to question whether we need to invade such boundaries, and how quickly tubes or lines can be removed to promote dignity. Skin preparation is important for surgical access, infection control and body image. Shaving may not be the soundest approach to depilation.
身体外观具有社会价值,但通过手术和护理操作会面临重大风险。使用点滴器、引流管和导管都会破坏身体界限。重要的是要质疑我们是否需要侵入这些界限,以及多快可以移除管子或线路以维护尊严。皮肤准备对于手术入路、感染控制和身体形象很重要。剃须可能不是最合理的脱毛方法。
