A nurse is caring for an 8-year-old child who is experiencing dry skin due to radiation therapy. Which of the following actions should the nurse suggest?

A. Remove the skin markings following radiation: Skin markings should not be removed during radiation therapy, as they are necessary for accurate targeting of radiation. Removing them can interfere with treatment accuracy and is not recommended. B. Apply lotions liberally to the skin: While moisturizing can help with dryness, during radiation therapy, the nurse should recommend only mild, non-irritating, fragrance-free lotions approved by the radiation team. Applying products liberally or unapproved lotions can interfere with radiation dosing. C. Wear protective clothing when outside: Radiation can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight. Wearing protective clothing and using sun protection helps prevent additional irritation, burns, or damage to already vulnerable skin. This is an appropriate measure to manage skin integrity. D. Cleanse skin with an antibacterial cleanser: Antibacterial or harsh cleansers can irritate the sensitive skin of a child undergoing radiation therapy. Gentle, mild, fragrance-free soap and lukewarm water are preferred to maintain skin integrity without causing further damage.
