A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the parents of a newborn who had a circumcision. Which of the following client statements indicates understanding of the teaching?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
"I will apply petroleum jelly to the penis with each diaper change."
Rationale:
🟢 Applying petroleum jelly creates a protective barrier, prevents the diaper from sticking to the circumcision site, and promotes healing.
🟢 This practice helps reduce pain and discomfort during diaper changes and minimizes trauma to the healing tissue.
🟢 Petroleum jelly keeps the area moist, which supports proper healing and reduces the risk of scab formation or bleeding.
🟢 The parent should not remove yellow exudate (it’s part of normal healing), should avoid snug diapers (can cause pressure), and should use only warm water (not soap) to clean until the site is healed.
🟢 Consistent use of petroleum jelly is a key recommendation from pediatric guidelines for post-circumcision care.
