    A nurse is reinforcing teaching about circumcision care with the parent of an infant who just underwent a Plausible circumcision. Which of the following statements by the parent indicates an understanding of the teaching?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Incorrect. Yellow crusts around the incision site are a normal part of healing after circumcision. Wiping them away can disrupt the healing process. B. Correct. Applying pressure with gauze if bleeding occurs helps control bleeding and supports the healing process after circumcision. C. Incorrect. A snug diaper might cause friction and discomfort for the healing circumcision site. Diapers should be applied loosely to avoid rubbing against the area. D. Incorrect. Applying antibiotic ointment is generally not recommended for circumcision care, especially after a Plausible circumcision. It can interfere with healing and increase the risk of infection.
