A partial bed bath is performed when only part of the body is washed. A complete bed bath is for patients who are completely bedridden or are totally dependent on others for care. A shower is usually for patients who are strong enough to shower independently. A sink bath is when the patient washes while standing or sitting in front of a bath basin or sink.
