Gracie, the mother of a 3-month-old infant calls the clinic and states that her child has a diaper rash. What should the nurse advise?
  1. “Switch to cloth diapers until the rash is gone”
  2. “Use baby wipes with each diaper change.”
  3. “Leave the diaper off while the infant sleeps.”
  4. “Offer extra fluids to the infant until the rash improves.”
Explanation
Answer: C - Leaving the diaper off while the infant sleeps helps to promote air circulation to the area, improving the condition. Switching to cloth diapers isn’t necessary; in fact, that may make the rash worse. Baby wipes contain alcohol, which may worsen the condition. Extra fluids won’t make the rash better.
