Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client about using transdermal patches at home. Which of the following statements should the nurse identify as an indication that the client understands the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: "I will clean and dry the area before applying the patch." This is correct because ensuring the skin is clean and dry before applying the transdermal patch helps improve adherence and absorption. It also reduces the risk of skin irritation and infection.
A: "I will use lotion on irritated skin before applying a new patch in that area." - Incorrect, as using lotion on irritated skin may interfere with patch adherence and absorption.
B: "I will remove the old patch and apply a new one in the same location." - Incorrect, as patches should be applied to different sites to prevent skin irritation.
C: "I will press the patch securely in place on my forearm." - Incorrect, as while pressing the patch securely is important, it is not the only step needed for proper application.
