Practice test question

[kellerz]

Hello I am not understand this question. Patient has midline abdominal incision and requires daily dressing changes. Which principle of asepsis would be most important to follow when cleansing the wound.

The answer is clean from proximal to distal using the midline, far side, near side priniciple.

For some reason I am not understanding the prioximal to distal part. I cannot picture this.

Can someone please explain this to me. Thank you!
