A nurse is teaching a group of farm workers who work with pesticides about minimizing exposure. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?

Choice A reason: Changing clothes after working in the field is an evidence-based practice to reduce pesticide exposure. Pesticide residues can cling to clothing and cause prolonged skin contact or contaminate the home environment. This makes option A the correct answer. Choice B reason: Applying petroleum jelly to the nostrils does not prevent pesticide inhalation. Proper protective equipment such as masks or respirators is required to reduce inhalation risk. This option is incorrect. Choice C reason: Wiping fruits and vegetables with a dry cloth is insufficient to remove pesticide residues. Washing thoroughly with water is necessary to reduce ingestion risk. This option is incorrect. Choice D reason: Storing protective equipment in a vehicle exposes it to heat and contamination, reducing its effectiveness. Equipment should be stored in a clean, dry, and safe environment. This option is incorrect.
