Question:

Of the following procedures, which one should be used for washing the perineum of a patient who has a catheter to minimize the spread of bacteria or further infection and contamination.

A Wash the patient from the meatus out.
explanation

Washing from the meatus out is the correct washing practice as it avoids further spreading of contamination.  Peroxide is not a cleanser so should not be used to wash a patient.  The other two options are cleaning in the opposite direction that they should be in.

There are definitely a few mistakes in this app, some of the answers are just plain wrong so make sure this is not your only source of study material. Other than that this app is very helpful.

I would love to give this app 5 stars but in the Nursing Skills section it does not allow you to go on to part 7. After you get to part 6 it either just never loads or it tells you to go to part 7 and does absolutely nothing.
