Question 3 of 5
After teaching a client who expressed concern about a rash located beneath her breast, a nurse assesses the client's understanding. Which statement indicates the client has a good understanding of this condition?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rashes limited to skinfold areas (e.g., on the axillae, beneath the breasts, in the groin) may reflect problems related to excessive moisture. The client needs to keep the area dry; one option is to use powder. Good hygiene is important, but the rash does not need an antibacterial soap. Fluid overload and breast cancer are not related to rashes in skinfolds.
