Practice Question

A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client about maintaining skin integrity to decrease the risk of infection. Which of the following instructions nurse include?

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

“Use a moisturizer on your skin after cleaning."

Rationale:

✍🏿Moisturizers help maintain skin hydration, preventing dryness and cracking that can create entry points for pathogens.

✍🏿Aging skin produces less natural oil and is more susceptible to breakdown, making daily moisturizing essential for barrier protection.

✍🏿 Applying moisturizers after bathing helps lock in moisture and improves skin elasticity.

✍🏿This practice supports infection prevention by preserving the integrity of the skin’s natural defenses.

✍🏿 Nurses should teach patients to choose non-irritating, hypoallergenic moisturizers to avoid skin reactions.
