Which area should be cleaned after washing the penis in male peri-care?

• A. Anal area from front to back
• B. Abdomen
• C. Back
• D. Feet

Answer: (A)

In male peri-care, you clean in a front-to-back direction to prevent transferring bacteria from the anal area to the urinary opening. After washing the penis, the next area to clean is the anal area, moving from the front toward the back. This approach helps reduce the risk of a urinary tract infection by avoiding contamination from the anus. The abdomen, back, and feet aren’t involved in this specific step of the peri-care sequence.
