When assisting a resident with a bed bath, in what order should the CNA wash the resident's body parts?

Question

Accepted Answer

Face, arms, chest, abdomen, legs, perineal area, back. The correct order for bathing is from cleanest to dirtiest areas, starting with the face and ending with the perineal area. This prevents contamination of clean areas with bacteria from less clean areas. Answer B is backwards. Answers C and D place the perineal area in incorrect positions in the sequence.
