1. Cleansing the skin - removes perspiration, bacteria and odors (minimizes

2. Stimulation of circulation - warm water and gentle strokes from distal to
proximal increase circulation and promote venous return
3. Assessment - allows the nurse to visualize skin and mobility while
enhancing nurse-pt relationship
