Moving slowly and being flexible can help the client feel more comfortable and in control of the situation, which can reduce anxiety and resistance during the bath. Assisting the client in feeling in control by allowing them to participate in the bath to the best of their ability can help promote independence and dignity. Being prepared for the bath by having all necessary supplies readily available can also help reduce stress and make the process more efficient. Avoiding stopping once the bath is started may not be necessary or helpful, as breaks may be needed or requested by the client.
