Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
A partial bath consists of washing body parts that the patient cannot reach, including the back, and providing a back rub. Dependent patients in need of partial hygiene or self-sufficient bedridden patients who are unable to reach all body parts receive a partial bed bath. Complete bed baths are administered to totally dependent patients in bed. The bag bath contains several soft, nonwoven cotton cloths that are pre-moistened in a solution of no-rinse surfactant cleanser and emollient. It can be used for any patient. The sponge bath involves bathing from a bath basin or a sink with the patient sitting in a chair.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
When washbasins are not cleaned and dried completely after use, the risk of contamination by gram-negative organisms is introduced. Successive uses of the washbasin cause the patient's skin to harbor more gram-negative organisms. Bag baths do not contain soap. Instead, they contain a no-rinse surfactant, a humectant to trap moisture, and an emollient that significantly reduces overall skin dryness, especially skin flaking and scaling.
