bed-baths
Immobile patient cleaning
Bed-baths are washings given to a person who cannot get out of bed, typically in hospitals or care settings.
A caregiver uses a basin, cloth, and soap to clean the patient while they remain lying down: The nurses gave bed-baths to patients on the ward each morning.
