Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for an infant who has diaper dermatitis. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: While some parents may prefer cloth diapers, they can retain moisture and irritants. Disposable diapers with good absorbency are often preferred in managing diaper dermatitis. Using a gentle moisturizer to clean the skin can help protect the infant's skin and maintain its barrier function, especially in cases of diaper dermatitis. Moisturizers help soothe and heal the affected area by providing hydration and protection. Talcum powder is not recommended due to the risk of inhalation, which can cause respiratory issues. Additionally, powders can clump and worsen skin irritation. Exposing the skin to hot air can dry out the skin and worsen irritation. It's better to allow the area to air-dry naturally or use a cool blow dryer on a low setting.
