When preparing the bag bath for the client, which action is the priority for the nurse?
1. Wetting 10-12 disposable washcloths
2. Drying the client after using a washcloth
3. Using one washcloth for the lower extremities
4. Warming the washcloth in the microwave
Correct Answer: 4
The package arrives with 10-12 presoaked disposable washcloths that the nurse must warm in the microwave. Once the washcloths are safely warmed, the nurse uses one washcloth on each area of the body (one for each arm, one for each leg). Drying is not necessary because the solution on the washcloths is no-rinse cleanser that will dry quickly.
