Solution

The correct order for disinfecting these structures is III. Urethral meatus, II. Prepuce (foreskin), I. Glans penis. So, the correct option is III - II - I.

Here's why:

  1. Urethral meatus: This is the opening at the tip of the penis where urine and semen exit. It's important to clean this area first to prevent any bacteria or pathogens from being pushed further into the urethra during the cleaning process.

  2. Prepuce (foreskin): This is the fold of skin that covers the glans penis in uncircumcised men. After cleaning the urethral meatus, you would retract the foreskin to clean underneath.

  3. Glans penis: This is the rounded head (or tip) of the penis. It's cleaned last, after the urethral meatus and foreskin have been cleaned, to ensure that any bacteria or pathogens that may have been pushed out from under the foreskin or from the urethral meatus are removed.
