Correct Answer: 3,5,1,4,2
The nurse first places a towel under the client's hip to protect the bed. The female client should be positioned in a back-lying position with the knees flexed and spread well apart. Cover the body and legs with the bath blanket to minimize exposure. Apply gloves and clean the labia majora, then open the labia to clean the labia minora using separate quarters of the washcloth for each stroke. After cleaning the genitalia, wipe from the pubis to the rectum in order to avoid bringing bacteria from the rectum toward the urethra, which could result in a urinary tract infection.
