The nurse has delegated a male patient's perineal care to the NAP. Which statement made by the NAP requires the nurse's follow-up?

The statement regarding the use of hot, soapy water requires the nurse's follow-up because it indicates a lack of understanding of proper hygiene practices. Using "hot" water can pose a risk of burns or discomfort to the patient, particularly in sensitive areas such as the perineum. The correct approach would involve using warm water, which is comfortable and effective for cleaning without causing harm.

The other statements reflect appropriate responsibilities of the nursing assistant in providing perineal care. Checking to see if the patient cleans himself properly, informing the nurse about any signs of skin issues, and inquiring about pain demonstrate a proactive approach to patient care and assessment, all of which are critical for maintaining patient safety and health.
