Which of the following is NOT a kind of bath employed among the elderly?

The correct answer is the option that refers to "Eating bath" as it is not a recognized type of bathing technique for the elderly. The primary purpose of a bath is to maintain hygiene and comfort, and traditional types of baths such as sponge baths, showers, and toilet/commode baths are specifically designed to assist individuals in maintaining personal cleanliness, often tailored to the needs of the elderly who may have limited mobility or other health considerations.

A sponge bath involves using a damp cloth or sponge to clean the body, which can be very practical for individuals who are bedridden or have difficulty using a shower. A shower offers a more thorough cleaning option for those able to stand or sit safely in the shower. The toilet or commode bath refers to a bathing approach that may occur in conjunction with or immediately following using the toilet, ensuring cleanliness in a sensitive area. Each of these types provides essential care and is commonly used in elderly care settings.
