A mother expresses fear about changing her infant's diaper after he is circumcised with a clamp procedure.What does the woman need to be taught to take care of the infant when she gets home?

Choice A rationaleApplying constant firm pressure to the penis for five minutes if bleeding occurs is an appropriate initial intervention for bleeding after a circumcision. However, it does not address the routine care needed after each diaper change to promote healing and prevent infection.Choice B rationaleCleansing the penis gently with water after each diaper change removes urine and stool, preventing irritation and potential infection. Applying a thin layer of petroleum jelly around the glans helps to keep the diaper from sticking to the healing circumcision site, reducing discomfort and promoting healing.Choice C rationalePrepackaged diaper wipes often contain fragrances and alcohol, which can irritate the sensitive skin of a newly circumcised penis and potentially delay healing or cause discomfort. Gentle cleansing with water is preferred.Choice D rationaleThe yellow exudate that forms on the glans after circumcision is a normal part of the healing process, known as granulation tissue. It should not be washed off, as this can disrupt healing and increase the risk of infection. It will typically disappear on its own over a few days.
