Final answer:

A partial bed bath involves cleaning specific areas of a client's body.

Step-by-step explanation:

A partial bed bath is a procedure in which a nurse aide cleans specific areas of a client's body, typically the areas that are difficult for the client to reach or that require special attention. This includes washing the client's face, hands, underarms, and perineal area.

This means the nurse aide must wash the client's:

Upper body

Lower body

Entire body

Only the hair and scalp

A partial bed bath typically involves washing the client's upper body, lower body, and possibly the lower extremities, but not the entire body. It may also involve washing the client's hair and scalp if necessary, but not shampooing or conditioning it. The specific areas to be washed will depend on the client's individual care needs and preferences.
