the nurse must make the decision to give a patient a full or partial bed bath. this decision depends on the:

a) physician's order for the patient's activity

b) immediate

needs of the patient

c) time of the patient's last bath

d) wishes of the patient

nursing process: assessment (step #1) always comes before determination of the problem (step #2) and what you will do about it (step #3). giving a bath is a nursing intervention (step #3) for a self-care deficit, one of the nursing diagnoses (nursing problems). this is the second question you have posted looking for an answer that involved knowing the nursing process. i think you need to review and study the 5 steps of the nursing process and what goes on in each step so you can recognize these actions when they are presented to you in questions.
