Using fresh tissue for each wipe helps prevent the spread of bacteria and infection. Wiping from back to front can also increase the risk of infection, and wearing sterile gloves may not be necessary unless there is an open wound or the patient is immunocompromised. Asking the patient to try may not be feasible or safe, as they may not have the physical ability or may risk injury.
