What are the supplies needed to give a bed bath?

The CNA/Nurse Aide should gather all supplies before giving a bed bath, including warm water between 105-115 degrees. Supplies needed: basin, soap, lotion, several washcloths, two or more towels, and gloves. Depending on the resident, a fresh gown, pajamas, or clothes should be at hand. If changing linens, a fitted sheet, flat sheet, bed pad, blanket, and pillowcases should be at the bedside before starting the bed bath.
