When bathing a resident, you should wash the face before or after the rest of the body?

Question

Accepted Answer

Before the rest of the body, using clean water. The face should be washed first using clean water, as the face is the cleanest area and should not be washed with water already used on other body parts. This follows the principle of washing from cleanest to dirtiest areas. Using the same water for the entire body is unsanitary. Face washing is part of standard hygiene care.
