Question 1 of 5
The nurse is performing an assessment on a 3-year-old child with chickenpox. The child's mother tells the nurse that the child keeps scratching at night, and the nurse teaches the mother about measures that will prevent an alteration in skin integrity. Which statement by the mother indicates that teaching was effective?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Placing white gloves on the child's hands at night prevents scratching during sleep, which helps maintain skin integrity and reduces the risk of secondary infections. Applying cortisone cream is not recommended without a prescription, as it may not be appropriate for chickenpox and could increase the risk of complications. Warm milk may help with sleep but does not directly address scratching or skin integrity. Keeping the child in a warm room does not prevent scratching and may increase discomfort, as cooler environments are often better for reducing itching.
