ATI Medical Surgical Nursing, Care of Patients with Skin Problems
Document Content and Description Below
1. A client has very dry skin. Which is the best intervention for the nurse to teach the client? a. “Be sure to use lots of moisturizer several times a day.” b. “Avoid wearing stockings or o... ther constricting clothing.” c. “Use antimicrobial soap so scratching won’t cause infection.” d. “After you bathe, put lotion on before your skin is totally dry.” ANS: D The client should bathe in warm water for at least 20 minutes and then apply lotion immediately because this will keep the moisture in the skin. Just using moisturizer will not be as helpful because the moisturizer is not what rehydrates the skin; it is the water. Constricting clothing is not related to dry skin, and antimicrobial soaps are actually more drying than other kinds of soap.
