Concept Notes:
Caregiving Tools, Equipment, and Paraphernalia

that he/she uses the right equipment, tool, or paraphernalia
that is applicable to a specific job. You, as a future caregiver,
therefore, should be well versed with the different tools and

Operating Caregiving Equipment, Tools and Paraphernalia

Now that you have successfully identified the different

equipment, tools, and paraphernalia used in providing health
care, it is a must that you master the proper utilization of each.
As an efficient and dependable caregiver, you must learn the
procedures in operating them, since you will be expected to
use them in your particular job.

1. 1. Choose a flat, dry surface on which to operate your blender.

2. 2. Make sure that all the parts are placed in their
appropriate places before operating.
II. 3. 3. Put the pitcher onto the base and plug the blender
4. 4. Place the ingredients in the pitcher and put the lid on firmly.
III. 5. Start operating by choosing the setting appropriate for the
task you are going to do
IV. 6. You may add food or ingredients through the secondary lid
while the blender is running
V. 7. Clean the blender after use
 1. Fill the carafe with water according to
the number of cups of coffee you need
to make.
2. Pour the water from the carafe into the
reservoir of the coffee maker, and place
the carafe back into position.
3. Place a coffee filter into the filter basket.
The amount of coffee you'll need to add
depends on how strong or weak your
clients like it. Then, add the coffee into the
filter using a spoon.
4. Turn on the coffee maker and wait for your
coffee to brew.

Electric Can Opener

1. Plug the electric can opener into an outlet.

2. Lift up the lever that raises
the cutting wheel into the air.
Place the lip of the can under
the wheel. Put the lever down
and press hard enough so
that the wheel gets into the
can.
3. Turn on the opener while
holding the bottom of the can
and it will automatically turn
as the wheel slices through
the can.
4. Remove the can from the
opener when it reaches the
end and you feel a slight
drop of the can. The lid will
remain attached to the
magnet on the opener and
 the can is ready to dump.
5. Unplug the opener from the outlet.

Food Processor

1. Remove the food processor from its box

container.

2. Place it on a stable, flat surface.

3. Plug it on the electrical outlet safely.

4. Remove the cover and put the

food ingredients to be processed.

5. Put back the cover and turn on the processor to start with the
procedure.

6. As soon as you have reached the desired size or

texture for your food ingredients, remove the
cover and pour the ingredients into your bowl or
plate.

Microwave Oven

Microwave oven is a very useful

tool especially during mealtime,
but you should exercise special
care when using it to cook or
reheat food to ensure that it is
prepared safely.
Microwave Oven Cookin
 Position evenly the food items in a covered dish. You may
add some liquid if necessary. Cover the dish with a lid or
plastic wrap, but make sure not to cover it completely to let
steam come out. The moist heat that is created will help
destroy harmful bacteria and ensure uniform cooking.
 It is better to cook large cuts of meat on medium power for
longer periods than on high power. This way, heat reaches
the center without overcooking outer areas.

 Mix or rotate food midway through the microwaving time.

This is important so as to eliminate cold spots where harmful
bacteria can survive, and for more even cooking.

 When partially cooking food in the microwave oven to finish

cooking on the grill or in a conventional oven, it is important
to transfer the microwaved food to the other heat source
immediately. Never partially cook food and store it for later
use.

 Use a food thermometer or the oven's temperature probe to

verify the food has reached a safe minimum internal
temperature. Cooking times may vary because ovens vary
in power and efficiency. Always allow standing time, which
completes the cooking, before checking the internal
temperature with a food thermometer.

Microwave Defrosting
 Remove food from the package before defrosting. Do not
use foam trays and plastic wraps because they are not
heat stable at high temperatures. Melting or warping may
cause harmful chemicals to migrate into food.

 Immediately after defrosting meat and poultry in microwave oven, they

should be cooked since some areas of the frozen food may begin to
cook during the
 Bottle Sterilizer
1. Place the recommended
amount of water as specified in
the manufacturer’s instructional
manual. Then, plug in the unit.

2. Place the bottle upside down

(use the prongs to support them
individually). Place the nipples,
nipple rings and caps in such a
way that they do not touch each
other. Either prop them between
the lower prongs, or place them
on the supplied surface.

3. Cover the sterilizer and turn on

the unit. Sterilization typically
takes about 10 minutes with an
automatic cycle that raises
water
Temperature to a sufficient level to kill off any bacteria (212
degrees Fahrenheit). Once this cycle ends, the unit
automatically begins to cool. Some models or units will not
allow you to open the cover until the cooling cycle is
completed.

4. Unplug the unit.

5. Remove the feeding bottles from the
sterilizer.
6. Clean the sterilizer based on the
manufacturer’s specifications.
 Common Equipment in Cleaning, Laundry, and Ironing

Flat Iron

1. Check the label of every garment before ironing. This is

necessary as some fabrics need special care instructions.

1. Unfold your ironing board near the

outlet. Plug in your iron and choose
the appropriate setting based on the
material of the clothes you are
ironing.
2. Preheating the flat iron should be
done before starting. You will have to
wait about 2-5 minutes to let the iron
warm up.

3. Stretch the garment across the ironing

board to make sure it is flat.

2.Run the iron over one part of the

garment such as the hem just to be
sure that it is not too hot.

3. Move the iron over the pants,

blouse, or shirt and take note of
pleats and pockets. For the
shirts, start with the collar next
to the sleeves, and then the
shirt itself. For pants and shorts,
start with the inside then the
outside of the pants starting
from the waistband down.
Generally, skirts and dresses
are ironed from the top to the
hem. If there are pleats, iron
from the bottom and work
upward with fast strokes. Each
pleat should be pressed
individually. Hang each garment
that you have ironed to keep it
from wrinkling again.
4. Unplug the iron and allow the unit to cool
 before storing it.

Washing Machine

1. The very first step in washing is

sorting the clothes of your client.
Separate white and light-colored
from dark-colored clothes. Also,
they should be sorted according to
their material. Wash clothes with
heavy fabrics together and clothes
with light fabrics together.

2. Put detergent into the washing

machine. Let the detergent go to
the bottom of the washing
machine.

3. Put the clothes loosely into the washing

machine.

4. Load the laundry as high as the

manufacturer specifies or to the
top row of holes in the tub.

5. Close the lid and choose the setting of the washing

machine according to what you are washing.

6. Turn on the machine. Let the unit work through all of the
cycles. Wait for the machine to turn off before you unload
the washed laundry.

7. Load the next batch of clothes and do steps 5 and 6

again until you are done with the laundry.

8. Turn off and unplug the unit.
