A nurse is caring for a toddler with atopic dermatitis. The nurse should instruct the mother to:

keep the baby away from other children while rashes are present.
wrap the baby’s hands in mittens or socks to prevent scratching
clean the affected areas with tepid water and detergent
dress the child warmly to avoid chilling

Explanation

Answer: B - A child with atopic dermatitis needs to have short fingernails covered so the child will not be able to scratch the lesions, thereby causing new lesions and possible secondary infection.
