What is the recommended water temperature range for perineal care?

  1. 100-104 `F

  2. 105-109 `F

  3. 110-114 `F

  4. 115-119 `F

The correct answer is: 100-104 `F

Perineal care involves washing and cleansing the perineal area, which includes the genitals and anus. This area is sensitive and can easily be irritated by extreme temperatures. The recommended water temperature for perineal care is between 100-104 °F as it is warm enough to provide comfort and cleanliness, but not hot enough to cause discomfort or injury. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because these temperatures are too high and can potentially cause burns or irritation to the delicate skin in the perineal area. It is important to always use warm, but not hot, water when performing perineal care.
