Question 1 of 5
The home care nurse provides instructions about the management of pruritus to a client diagnosed with jaundice. Which statement made by the client suggests to the nurse that the client needs further teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Pruritus is caused by the accumulation of bile salts in the skin and results from obstructed biliary excretion. The client would be instructed to keep the house temperature cool in order to minimize the itching. The client should avoid the use of alkaline soap, and he or she (client) should wear loose, soft, cotton clothing. Antihistamines may relieve the itching, as will tepid water and emollient baths.
