When cleaning uncircumcised male patients, how should nursing assistants handle the foreskin?

Gently retract the foreskin to clean the tip (glans) and shaft of the penis, then return the foreskin to its normal position. Leaving it in place can prevent proper cleaning, while failing to replace it afterward can cause swelling and restrict blood flow. The correct choice is “Pull the foreskin back and clean the tip and shaft of the penis.”
