bedbaths
Immobile patient cleaning
Bedbaths are washings given to patients who cannot leave their beds, typically in hospitals or nursing homes.
A caregiver uses a basin of water, soap, and washcloths to clean the patient section by section while they remain lying down: The nurse gave bedbaths to three patients before lunch.
Also spelled as two words: bed baths.
