Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The person should be positioned in Fowler's position or sitting as this allows for easier access to the perineal area for washing. The supine position would not allow for easy access, the side-lying position may not allow for good visualization and Sims' position or prone would make it difficult for the person to breathe comfortably during the bath.
