The NP is for a client with genital herpes. Which of the following measures would help make the patient more comfortable?

Instructing the client to wear loose cotton underwear
Application of hydrogen peroxide solution over the lesions
Application of lubricants to lesions
Application of warm compresses
None of the above

Explanation
