A nurse is preparing a class for parents of infants about managing diaper dermatitis. What advice would the nurse include in the presentation? Select all that apply.
Explanation & Rationale
A. Scented diaper wipes can irritate the sensitive skin of infants and worsen diaper dermatitis; unscented or plain water is preferred. B. Refraining from using rubber pants over diapers allows the skin to breathe and reduces moisture accumulation, which helps prevent and manage diaper rash. C. Antibacterial soaps are harsh and can further irritate the skin; gentle cleansing with mild soap and water is recommended. D. Topical nystatin is appropriate if a fungal infection (Candida) is present, which is common in persistent or severe diaper dermatitis. E. Using a blow dryer can irritate or burn the infant’s delicate skin; air-drying or gentle patting with a soft cloth is safer.
