Question 5 of 5
Which action is appropriate when performing perineal care for an incontinent patient?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Patting the area dry after cleaning during perineal care prevents moisture-related irritation and skin breakdown, common in incontinent patients. Harsh soaps can strip natural oils, causing dryness or infection, so mild cleansers are better. Wiping back to front risks introducing fecal bacteria to the urethra, increasing UTI chances, especially in females front-to-back is the standard. Limiting care to once a week neglects hygiene needs, as incontinence requires frequent cleaning to avoid rashes or infections. Gentle drying maintains skin integrity, reducing friction and promoting comfort, which is critical for patients unable to manage their own hygiene.
