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

    Explanation & Rationale

    Choice A reason: Wiping yellow crusts disrupts healing; they’re normal post-Plastibell exudate. This shows misunderstanding, as crusts should remain until the ring detaches naturally.Choice B reason: Snug diapers risk ring displacement or irritation in Plastibell care. Loose fitting is advised, so this indicates a lack of proper technique understanding.Choice C reason: Applying pressure with gauze controls minor bleeding, a correct response in Plastibell care. It shows understanding of managing complications until medical help is sought.Choice D reason: Antibiotic ointment isn’t routine for Plastibell; petroleum jelly is used instead. This reflects incorrect care knowledge, potentially causing irritation or infection.
