Which article are you evaluating?
Bedpan

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I have chosen this article because it was assigned for the Wiki edu course and does not have much updated medical information. Despite it not seeming to have much medical importance compared to articles about disease states or medication treatments, it still has clinical use for individuals that are bedridden or in the home care setting. This article did not have much information prior to this assignment and only contained information such as what it looks like, what it is commonly used for, and some different kinds of material. It could definitely be expanded more.

This article in the beginning had very limited information about the usage and some different kinds of materials that bedpans come in. This article also did not have much information in terms of history, disinfection, clinical uses, management, and alternatives to the standard bedpan which can provide readers more broad information about how bedpans are used and development. They can also find alternatives to bedpans for further research. Article also had limited images and has a neutral point of view, not really convincing or dissuading the reader from using bedpans. Overall, this article still needs more work and expanding information about bedpans and global management/usage.
