Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
A partial bath consists of washing body parts that the patient cannot reach, including the back, and providing a backrub. Dependent patients in need of partial hygiene or self-sufficient bedridden patients who are unable to reach all body parts receive a partial bed bath. Complete bed baths are administered to totally dependent patients in bed. The bag bath contains several soft, nonwoven cotton cloths that are premoistened in a solution of no-rinse surfactant cleanser and emollient. The sponge bath involves bathing from a bath basin or a sink with the patient sitting in a chair.
