Where should you check closely for skin problems during a bath?

  1. Only on the face and the neck of the resident
  2. Only on the arms and the hands of the resident
  3. Under the breasts, in skin folds, and between the toes
  4. Only on the back and the shoulders of the resident
Show answer

Correct answer: Under the breasts, in skin folds, and between the toes

Moisture can be trapped in these places, so skin problems start there.
