Answer to Question 1

D
The bag bath is intended to reduce the risk of infection. Use of the traditional washbasin may increase the risk of infection because if it is not cleaned and dried completely after use, gram-negative bacteria may contaminate the washbasin. Successive use of a contaminated basin may cause the client's skin to harbour more gram-negative organisms, increasing the client's risk of infection.
The bag bath is typically more expensive than the traditional bed bath method.
Using the bag bath does take less time, but it is not the best rationale for using this method of hygienic care.
The bag bath does not leave the skin softer than traditional hygienic care.
