In a CHG basin bath, which area is washed with washcloth #3?

• A. Abdomen, groin, and perineum
• B. Arms, hands, fingers
• C. Neck, shoulders, chest
• D. Right leg, foot, and webspaces

Answer: (A)

In a CHG basin bath, each washcloth is assigned to a specific body area so you clean with a fresh cloth for each region and avoid cross-contamination. The cloth used for the trunk covers the abdomen, groin, and perineum. This central area is cleaned with that cloth after addressing the other regions, ensuring thorough cleaning of the torso and the more sensitive groin/perineal area with a single, dedicated cloth. The other areas—arms and hands, neck and chest, legs and feet—are cleaned with the remaining washcloths designated for those regions, so they don’t use the same cloth that’s been used on the trunk. This helps maintain hygiene and minimizes spreading contaminants between parts of the body.
