What does a partial bath typically include washing?

  1. Full body and hair

  2. Face, hands, and underarms

  3. Only the face

  4. Hands and feet only

The correct answer is: Face, hands, and underarms

A partial bath typically involves cleaning specific areas of the body rather than the whole body. This often includes washing the face, hands, and underarms, which are key areas that may need regular washing to maintain hygiene and comfort. This type of bath is especially useful for individuals who may be unable to take a full bath or shower due to health issues, mobility limitations, or other reasons, allowing for a focus on maintaining cleanliness in critical areas. The other choices do not accurately describe the components of a partial bath. A full body and hair wash encompasses everything, while washing only the face or just the hands and feet does not meet the definition of a partial bath, which emphasizes more than a single area or just extremities.
