How do you give peri-care to a patient after a bowel movement?

To provide peri-care after a bowel movement, first ensure the patient is comfortable and privacy is respected. Use warm water and mild soap to gently clean the perineal area, wiping from front to back to prevent infection. Rinse thoroughly and pat the area dry with a soft towel. Finally, apply a barrier cream if needed, and ensure the patient is comfortable before leaving the area.
