That which is called a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.

'verzorgend wassen' is de ALGEMENE naam die men in Nederland voor deze manier van wassen (that is, with these premoistened, presoaped, no-rinse, disposable cloths) heeft gekozen en als ik naar de beschrijving hieronder kijk dan lijkt die naam gebaseerd op de claim dat deze manier van wassen 'de huid beter VERZORGT', 'de ZORG voor de patiënt verhoogt' en dan nog een keer herhaald 'deze producten VERZORGEN de huid en verbeteren de huidconditie' := 'verzorgend wassen'

waar het dan verder om gaat is wat de algemene naam voor deze manier van wassen in het Engels, het VK of de VS, is, de naam waaronder deze manier van wassen daar bekend staat.

What's in a name Ik vind de andere antwoorden ook wel goed voor het bedoelde product zelf, maar ik zou me toch afvragen in hoeverre hier sprake is van een (vorm van een) gepatenteerd concept, want "verzorgend wassen" had natuurlijk ook gewoon "wasdoekjes" kunnen heten, of "instant wassen" o.i.d.

extra link ter bevestiging Verzorgend Wassen

Verzorgend wassen is inmiddels een bekend onderdeel van de verzorging van uw bewoners. Wassen wordt beperkt tot één handeling in plaats van vier handelingen (inzepen, afspoelen, afdrogen en lotion aanbrengen). Het wasproces is aanmerkelijk korter, de bewoner wordt minder vaak gedraaid en ligt korter op de zij.

Verzorgend wassen is niet meer weg te denken uit zorginstellingen en wordt gebruikt bij alle bewoners die ’s morgens hulp nodig hebben bij het wassen. Daarnaast is het zeer geschikt voor mensen voor wie het traditionele wassen een belasting is, zoals bewoners met (veel) pijn, angst voor water of contracturen.

De belangrijkste voordelen in het kort:
+Hygiënisch. Het draagt bij aan voorkoming van kruisbesmettingen.
+Verzorgend wassen verzorgt de huid aanzienlijk beter dan traditioneel wassen met zeep en water.
+Verzorgend wassen vermindert de wastijd en verhoogt de zorg voor de cliënt.
+De producten verzorgen de huid, zijn pH-huidneutraal, hypoallergeen en dragen bij aan de verbetering van de huidconditie.

ja goeie link, ik vond hier ook namen voor als

- bath in a bag (try "bath in a bag" + "hospital")
- basinless bath (try "basinless bath")

'bed bath' voldoet niet want dat kan ook met "water and soap"


het is een manier van wassen waarvoor een speciaal product nodig is

bv.

Prepackaged "bath-in-a-bag" products, consisting of up to eight premoistened, presoaped, no-rinse, disposable cloths, can be used in all settings

A "bath in a bag" does not require water, so a person can be washed in a variety of places. People living at home at the end of life can be adequately bathed while resting comfortably in a recliner. Even the toilet can be an appropriate place for this type of cleansing; for example, if the person has limited energy, requires an extended period on the commode, or feels pain when transferred, this method might be useful

Link I provided a link for this concept in my answer: http://www.fieldlab.eu/nl/projecten/verzorgend-wassen/
Tina Vonhof (X) Aug 3, 2013:
More context needed Sounds like a bed bath or sponge bath but can't say for sure without more context.
philgoddard Aug 2, 2013:
This sounds like a bed bath But could you give a couple of sentences of Dutch context, please?

Proposed translations

Selected

No-rinse sponge bath

or
no-rinse body wash
or
no-rinse bathing
or
you could be a trail blazer and invent a new term
no-rinse caregiving

It will depend on the context you are using it in.

'care washing'

It is hard to say how this should be translated because it's a trademark concept:
http://www.fieldlab.eu/nl/projecten/verzorgend-wassen/
It makes use of premoistened and preheated washcloths.
For all that I know, that is already pretty common in many hospitals:
See:
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/patientinstructions/...
versus:
http://www.sageproducts.com/products/prepackaged-bathing/

What strikes me, though, is that the Dutch perspective focuses on patient comfort in the first place, while the US-based premoistened and prepackaged products focus on hygiene.
(I tend to joke that "germ" was the first word I learned when I arrived here).
Because of this different focus, I would prefer to see a more literal translation of care washing or caring washing. But what this concept should be is up to the manufacturer of this product.

washing-without-water (concept)

As opposed to traditional bedside washing using a wash basin.

Arion was the first company to introduce the idea of washing-without-water to Europe. Though this concept has already been widely implemented and accepted in the care sector in America, for the European market it represented a radically new way of washing bedridden carepatients. As such, substituting washbasins for packets of washcloths or washing gloves signified a cultural change for many health care institutions.

Since the introduction of washing-without-water in 1999, many health care institutions in Europe have been operating according to this concept. The advantages compared to traditional washing using a wash basin are
acknowledged by all users, even by those who were highly sceptical and critical before the concept was implemented.

(...)
As patients requiring care – for whatever reason – are not able to wash themselves in the shower or at the sink, they are washed in bed by nursing staff. In many cases, this is still carried out using one or two wash basins with water and soap, and care patients are washed in four stages whilst in bed:
• Lathering
• Rinsing
• Drying
• Application of a body lotion

(...)
Patients requiring care can be washed and cleaned thoroughly in a single action using Swash products. The packets contain 8 washcloths or washing gloves. Each cloth or glove contains a certain amount of Swash lotion, with which a part of the body can be washed. All 8 cloths or gloves should be used for a complete wash. The cloths or washing gloves can be thrown away with the general waste after use.

Dutch term (edited): verzorgend wassen

giving a bag bath

From Fundamental Nursing Skills and Concepts

Bathing

In general most bathing is done in a tub or shower, at a sink, or at the bedside

Tub bath or shower

if the safety risks are negligible and there are no contra-indications, the nurse encourages clients to bathe independently in a tub or shower (Skill 17-1). Etc.

Partial bath

A daily bath or shower is not always necessary ..
A partial bath means washing only those body areas subject to greatest soiling or that are sources of body odor: ...

Bed bath

Clients who cannot take a tub bath or shower independently may be given any one of three types of bath:
a bed bath
a towel bath
a bag bath

Bed bath
During a bed bath (washing with a basin of water at the bedside), the client may actively assist with some aspects of bathing (Skill 17-3 explains how to give a bed bath.)

Towel bath
With a towel bath the nurse uses a single large towel to cover and wash a client. It requires a towel or bath sheet measuring 3 x 7.5 feet but no basin or soap. The nurse prefolds and moistens the towel or bath sheet. ....

Bag bath

A bag bath involves the use of a commerically packaged kit with 8 to 10 premoistened, disposable cloths in a plastic bag or container and is another form of a bed bath. The cloths contain a no-rinse surfactant and an emollient/humectanct ...

The bag bath is a different approach to the daily hygiene of a patient. When the traditional bath (shower, tub, manual washing) becomes difficult due to the patient’s condition, a bag bath offers an economical, refreshing and skin protective approach to daily hygiene. Daily hygiene provides cleanliness for health and social reasons. It also provides a certain amount of comfort and prevents problems with disease spread from cross contamination.
What you need
 1 quart size re-sealable bag
 9 washcloths
 2 teaspoons of an emollient product such as Septi-Soft®
 2 cups of water
What you do
 Mix 2 teaspoons of Septi-Soft® with 2 cups of water
 Place 9 washcloths in the re-sealable bag
 Pour the Septi-Soft® mix over the washcloths
 Moisten all of the washcloths so there is no extra fluid in the bag
 Close the re-sealable bag leaving a small opening for venting
 Microwave the bag for 60-90 seconds

BagBath is een alles-in-één wassysteem bestaande uit 8 vochtige wasdoeken met reinigende ingrediënten, waarmee cliënten zeer efficiënt, hygiënisch en comfortabel volledig op bed kunnen worden gewassen.

Bij een traditionele wasbeurt met water en zeep gaat veel tijd en energie verloren in het klaarzetten, opruimen en schoonmaken van washandjes, waskommen en handdoeken. Met BagBath kan deze tijd worden besteed aan de cliënt, waarbij de huid maximaal wordt gereinigd met een minimum aan belasting, in zeker de helft van de tijd.

2. assist the patient to a chair and provide bathing supplies
3. saturate a towel and blanket in a plastic bag, and then bathe the patient
4. assist the patient to the bathtub and provide a bath chair

Grooming - bed-bound people

If your loved one is bed-bound, you need to consider alternatives to bathing, like washing them in bed using a sponge and non-rinse soap.

--> You could also give them a bag bath or a towel bath.

--> Bag bath

- Place several washcloths into a plastic bag.
- Add warm water and a liquid, non-rinse soap. There should be just enough water to moisten the washcloths without soaking them.
- Wrap your loved one with a large towel or blanket.
- Uncover just one body part, for example the shoulders, and massage them gently using one of the washcloths from the bag.
- Allow to air dry for a minute.
- Cover and do the same for every body part. Use the different washcloths for different body areas.
