Which set of supplies matches a standard modified bed bath kit?

• A. Basin with water, Soap, Gloves, 2 Towels, 2 Washcloths, 1 Gown
• B. Basin with water, Soap, Gloves, 3 Towels, 3 Washcloths, 1 Gown
• C. Basin with water, Soap, Gloves, 4 Towels, 4 Washcloths, 2 Gowns
• D. Basin with water, Soap, Gloves, 3 Towels, 2 Washcloths, 1 Gown

Answer: (B)

Knowing what supplies belong in a standard modified bed bath kit helps ensure you can perform the procedure while maintaining dignity and safety. For a modified bed bath, you wash the face, hands, arms, and back, and you need enough items to wash, rinse, and dry without cross-contamination, plus a covering to preserve modesty between steps. The set with a basin of water, soap, gloves, three towels, three washcloths, and one gown provides what you need: multiple washcloths and towels so you can clean and dry different areas without reusing dirty items, and a gown to keep the patient covered after washing each part. This arrangement supports orderly, hygienic care and privacy throughout the bath.

The other sets fall short because they either don’t provide enough washcloths or towels, or they omit the gown, which is important for keeping the patient covered and comfortable during the process.
