                    1. Prevent friction between and against skin surfaces by applying

                           gauze or cotton padding.


                           •       Skin surfaces in contact with each other (e.g., between toes,


                                   under breasts, in the axilla, groin) can rub against each other to

                                   cause abrasion.


                           •       Bandages over prominences may rub against skin to cause

                                   breakdown.






                    2. Follow the principles of bandaging during performing the procedure.





                    3. Apply bandage firmly with equal tension exerted over each turn or

                           layer.
