The nursing assistant should place a towel or bed pad under the part of the body that is being washed

Giving a complete bed bath includes washing all parts of the resident's body, including the face, neck, arms, legs, hands, feet, back, and buttocks. It is necessary to use a towel or bed pad to protect the bed linens and keep the resident warm and comfortable. Option A is incorrect because not using a towel or bed pad can lead to wet and uncomfortable bedding for the resident. Option C is incorrect because residents who need assistance with activities of daily living, such as bathing, may not be able to give themselves a complete bed bath. Option D is incorrect because it is important to wash one body part at a time and dry it before moving on to the next to ensure thorough cleaning and to prevent the resident from getting cold. Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
