In any car the easiest way is to locate the return hose that brings the fluid back to the pump and stick the end of it in a least a gallon container. Then start the car and pour fresh fluid in the filler neck(where you check the fluid level). When the fluid comes out clear, the system is flushed
The tricky part is making sure you do not run out of fluid in the pump. If you do, you may cause an air pocket in the line or the steering rack.
It may take 3 people to do this: One to make sure the end of the hose stays in the dirty fluid container. One to pour new fluid in and make sure it does not empty out.
One to start and stop the car.
I really suggest having a shop do this as they have power steering flushing machines that just have 2 hoses that go in the fluid resevoir. One bringing in clean fluid and one that takes out the old. This lessens the chance of messing up the threads on the hoses or a leak from not getting the hose end sealed properly.

What type of power steering fluid does a Acura RSX require?
There is a technical classification for what type of oil it is, but if you are just looking to buy some for your car look for Honda Power Steering Fluid. Yes, Acura is made by Honda. You can always go to your dealership and get "Acura" fluid, but it really is just Honda fluid with a new Acura sticker on it. I wouldn't recommend any Honda or Acura dealership to get fluid from. They overcharge, so just go to a local auto parts store and look for "Honda Power Steering Fluid". Many companies make it.
