Explanation

Answer: B-The genitalia are considered to be a dirty area, meaning they should be cleaned last as part of surgical preparation. When cleaning the genitalia during a skin prep, the nurse should clean outward from the midline, extending onto the thighs. They should then clean the genitalia last, using a separate sponge.
