Correct Answer: D


Rationale: Infants wearing plastic-coated diapers are more susceptible to skin absorption due to occlusion by the diaper, leading to increased permeability of the skin and enhanced drug absorption. Plastic-coated diapers create a warm and moist environment that increases skin hydration, facilitating drug penetration. This is important for topical drug absorption in pediatric patients.

Summary:
A: Incorrect. Skin hydration does not solely determine the absorption of water-soluble drugs in pediatric patients.
B: Incorrect. Inflammation typically increases drug absorption rather than decreasing it.
C: Incorrect.
Topical administration may vary in effectiveness depending on factors like skin integrity and age.
D: Correct. The occlusive nature of plastic-coated diapers enhances skin absorption in infants.
