Congratulations for choosing Basic GERi™, the nursing skills manikin, to teach
your students patient care techniques. Basic GERI’s™simple design makes the
manikin easy to use and care for. Many unique features are included with this
manikin, so please familiarize yourself with this manual before using Basic GERi™
with your students.
Legs:
The legs detach from the body at the hips
by bending the legs backward approximate-
ly 150° so that the feet are near the shoul-
ders and the keyholes are aligned. The legs
can now be pulled outward away from the
body. Reverse these procedures to
reassemble.
General Instructions For Care:
Basic GERI™comes completely assem-
bled, but is simple to take apart if need be.
Arms:
The arms can be removed by rotating them
to the rear of the manikin (to align the key-
holes at the shoulders) and pulling them
outward away from the body. Reverse
these procedures to reassemble.
The Basic GERi™manikin provides all
the regular features of the GERi™
Complete Manikin, except that the inter-
nal fluid reservoirs have been eliminated.
Ostomy care, oral and nasal lavage, gav-
age, and suctioning procedures cannot
be performed but can be simulated.
Urinary catheterization and enema
administration cannot be simulated on
the Basic GERi™manikin.
Wrist — flexion, hyperextension,
radial flexion, ulnar flexion
Fingers — abduction, adduction,
flexion (soft, lifelike material)
Neck — rotation, hyperextension,
lateral flexion
Hip — abduction, adduction,
rotation, hyperextension
Knee — extension, flexion
Ankle — eversion, inversion,
dorsiflexion, plantarflexion
Toes — abduction, adduction,
flexion (soft, lifelike material)

Bed Baths and Hair Washing:
To simplify clean-up, dry bed baths and
shampoos are recommended to eliminate
the chance of water entering the inside of
the manikin. However, a soft cloth and
water can be used for bathing exercises,
and a mild shampoo and cool water can be
used for hair washing. Avoid scrubbing any
painted areas of the manikin. To dry the
wig, blot with a soft towel and air dry. Do
not brush the hair when wet and never use
a hair blower or dryer on the wig.
3
Visual Inspection Features:
General wrinkles and skin folds.
Reddened skin under the right breast.
Moles on the back — the upper mole is nor-
mal. The lower mole shows signs of malig-
nancy.
Sacral decubitus ulcer — stage 1.
Pupils — left is dilated; right is constricted.
Ostomy Care:
External colostomy and ileostomy care can
be practiced on Basic GERi™.
Oral Hygiene:
Tooth brushing should be performed with-
out water or any cleaning agents to avoid
leakage into the head of the manikin, and to
simplify clean-up. Denture removal is
accomplished by grasping the dentures,
pulling forward and then down (for the
upper plate), or forward and then up (for the
lower plate).
Eye Irrigation:
Both eyes may be irrigated using water only.
To dry the eye sockets after completion of
the irrigation exercise, remove the eyes by
creasing the skin at the outside of each eye
and then roll the eye upward toward the
nose. Pat the inside of the eye sockets with
a soft cloth to remove moisture and replace
the eyes in their respective sockets.
Ear Care:
Both ears may be irrigated using water only.
To drain, tilt the head sideways and empty
into a basin or onto an absorbent cloth.
Cotton swabs should be used carefully and
only on the outer ear. The manikin includes
a simulated hearing aid for practice of
placement. The hearing aid fits in the right
ear only.
2
Head:
The head may be removed by rotating it
180° backward to align the keyholes, and
then pulling up. Reverse this procedure
to reassemble.
Joints:
All other joints may be disassembled with
a flat-head screwdriver. Hold the oppo-
site end of the connector pin to prevent
unproductive rotation.
Intramuscular Injection Pads:
The intramuscular injection pads located
at the shoulders, thigh, and hip may be
removed by compressing them sideways
and pulling up.
Eyes:
The eyes may be removed by creasing
the skin at the outside of each eye and
rolling the eye up.
Wig:
The wig may be washed with cool water
and a mild shampoo. Blot with a towel and
air dry. The wig is held in place by elastic
at the front and rear of the male hairline.
Do not brush the wig when it is wet.
Most cleaning can be done with a soft
cloth and warm water. Avoid washing the
painted areas on the manikin. Stubborn
stains can be treated by using REN clean-
er and a soft rag. Stains caused by make-
up, ink, and newsprint are indelible and
cannot be removed. Avoid contact with
these sub-stances. Do not apply cosmet-
ics or Betadine solution to the manikin.
Range of Motion:
One of the most unique features of the
Basic GERI™manikin is the complete
and realistic range of motion provided at
all the joints. This allows for correct
patient positioning and flexibility exercis-
es. The manikin’s articulation includes:
Trunk — rotation, hyperextension
Shoulder — abduction, adduction,
rotation, hyperextension
Elbow — extension, flexion,
pronation, supination
Blood Pressure Training:
An optional left arm may be purchased
for training in taking blood pressures.
The arm contains an internal speaker
which produces realistic blood pressure
sounds. The instructor can set any sys-
tolic and diastolic rates, adjust volume,
and change the heart rate. The five
Korotkoff sounds are produced, and the
instructor can select a mode for produc-
ing an auscultatory gap if desired.
(Reference NASCO product #LF03204U.)
Intramuscular Injections:
Intramuscular injections may be performed
in inserts at the left hip, right thigh, and at
both shoulders. Inject air only, as these
inserts cannot be drained. To remove the
injection inserts, compress them sideways
and pull out.
Intravenous Injections:
An optional right arm may be purchased for
IV training. This arm features realistic soft
vinyl skin and latex veins, which are com-
pletely replaceable. The arm rotates at the
elbow for easy accessibility to the antecu-
bital fossa, along the forearm, and at the
back of the hand. A bony landmark at the
shoulder identifies soft tissue for intramus-
cular injections. (Reference NASCO prod-
uct #LF03214U.)
