June, } 6 A. M. 12 P. M. 6 P. M. July, } August. }
2. The Attendants are required to see that their patients are properly prepared for their meals; that their faces are washed, hair combed, and clothing adjusted, that each may present a cleanly and orderly appearance.
3. At meals the Attendants shall always be present to carve, to distribute the food, to see that each one has a proper supply, and that they all take their meals in a proper manner. Each shall be supplied with such liberal allowance as the nature of the case may require, but all waste, gluttony, or improper habits at the table shall be mildly checked by the Attendants. They shall be allowed time to take their meals at leisure--habits of eating differ, and all (the old particularly) should have time to eat without hurry.
4. Food that has been handled, or rendered unfit for use, shall be sent back in a receptacle provided for the purpose, but whatever is fit to be served in another form shall be carefully laid aside for future consumption.
5. Some very plain food should be kept in the dining-room closets, for the use of those whose meals may have been interrupted, or for old persons, or for convalescent patients, who sometimes require food oftener than under ordinary circumstances.
6. Care must be taken that no patient carries away from the table a knife, fork, spoon, or any article of food, and, to be sure of this, the knives, forks and spoons should be counted after each meal, and search be made for any lost article. | |
