Make sure the wheelchair is securely locked in place

If the client is in bed, place a shampoo tray under her head to protect the linens and mattress

If the client is in a wheelchair, have her lean back over the sink. Place a folded towel over the sink edge to protect her neck

If the client is on a stretcher, his hair should not be shampooed

If the client must lean forward, have him place a folded washcloth over his eyes, and support his forehead with one hand as you shampoo with the other hand

During a shower or bath, support the back of the client's head with a pillow while shampooing the client's hair
