Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Routine hygienic care includes various activities such as bathing, foot care, hair care, and oral care. Out of these, the type of bath provided and the client's ability to provide self-care are the most important for a nurse to document in the medical record as it gives an idea about the client's functional status and the need for assistance with activities of daily living. The other options, such as foot care, hair care, and removal or insertion of a hearing aid may also be documented if there are any abnormalities or issues identified during the assessment. However, in this scenario, as there are no abnormal findings, it is not necessary to document these activities.
