In a CHG basin bath, which area is washed with washcloth #4?

• A. Right leg, foot, and webspaces
• B. Abdomen, groin, and perineum
• C. Arms, hands, fingers
• D. Back and buttocks

Answer: (A)

In a CHG basin bath, washcloths are used for specific body regions to prevent cross-contamination and ensure thorough cleaning. The fourth cloth is designated for the lower extremities—the right leg, including the foot and the spaces between the toes. This area is larger and includes interdigital spaces that need careful attention, so using a dedicated cloth helps you clean it completely without transferring grime to other parts of the body. As you work, use a fresh cloth for each region and progress in a clean-to-dirty order, discarding the cloth after finishing the leg to keep the rest of the body clean.
