A resident who is dependent for all care activities is being bathed. When should you wash the face?

Question

Accepted Answer

At the beginning while the water is cleanest. The face should be washed first, before other body parts, to use the cleanest water on the most sensitive area. Waiting until the middle or end exposes the face to soiled water. While the face can be washed separately, doing so early in the bath uses the cleanest water available.
