1. when you start the process of assisting an individual with bathing what should you do first?

identify ways to personalize bathing.
gather the necessary supplies.
place a shower chair or stool in the tub.
fill the tub with warm water.

Explanation:

For question 1: Asking them to wash their arms allows them to do a task independently. Holding onto the rail is for safety, not independence. Not touching the faucet and remaining seated are more about following instructions or safety.
For question 2: First, you should ask why they don't want to bathe to understand the reason. Personalizing comes after knowing the issue. Talking to other caregivers or family is not the first step.
For question 3: Gathering supplies is the first step. Identifying personalization is part of planning but after supplies. Placing a chair or filling water comes after having the supplies.

Answer:

1. Ask them to wash their arms.
2. Ask them why they do not want to bathe.
3. Gather the necessary supplies.
