I want to install GFCI protection. Do I need to install one in each
bathroom?
Or is the downstream one protected by its upstream brother? If yes, how
do I determine which one is first in the circuit?
GFCI outlets have "downstream" terminals. if you use them, the outlet
connected to it is protected as well.
Full instructions should be included in the box, when you make your purchase
