Question 4 of 5
Parents tell the nurse that their child keeps scratching the areas where he has poison ivy. The nurse's response should be based on which knowledge?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Scratching the lesions caused by poison ivy may result in them becoming secondarily infected. It is important to advise against scratching the affected areas to prevent the introduction of bacteria from under the fingernails or through broken skin, which can lead to infection. This can complicate the initial skin irritation caused by the poison ivy rash. Encouraging the child to avoid scratching and keeping the affected areas clean can help prevent secondary infections and promote healing.
