Wiping from back to front can introduce bacteria from the rectum into the urinary tract, which can potentially lead to a urinary tract infection. It is recommended to wipe from front to back to avoid this issue. The other options are all appropriate measures to ensure proper hygiene and infection control. Wearing gloves can protect both the caregiver and the patient from potential infection. Using fresh tissue for each wipe and providing perineal care can help prevent the spread of bacteria and maintain hygiene.
