Question 5 of 5
A teenager with a history of recurring atopic dermatitis (eczema) tells the school nurse of a desire to play high school sports. Which action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Showering with non-perfumed soaps immediately after practice is a good practice for a teenager with a history of recurring atopic dermatitis (eczema) who wants to play high school sports. Heat and humidity can cause perspiration, which intensifies itching with atopic dermatitis (eczema), so the client should be encouraged to shower, using non-perfumed soaps, as soon as possible after physical activity to remove perspiration.
