Correct Answer:
"l will apply petrolatum to his penis with each diaper change."
Rationale:
♦️Petrolatum prevents the diaper from sticking to the healing circumcision site, reducing pain and tissue trauma during diaper changes.
♦️ Application promotes moist wound healing, which is essential for faster tissue recovery.
♦️Gomco clamp sites typically heal within 5–7 days, and petrolatum helps maintain a protective barrier against friction and moisture.
♦️ The presence of yellowish exudate is normal during healing and should not be removed as it indicates proper healing.
♦️ Consistent application of petrolatum supports comfort and infection prevention in the circumcised infant.
