A nurse is teaching parents of a child with a nursing diagnosis of pain related to pruritus from skin lesions. Which of the following would the nurse include in the instructions? Select all that apply.

A. Oatmeal baths in lukewarm water help soothe irritated skin, reduce inflammation, and relieve itching. B. Children with pruritic skin conditions should wear loose, breathable cotton clothing; avoiding cotton is incorrect because synthetic fabrics can increase irritation. C. Wrapping a child snugly can increase heat and sweating, which aggravates itching and discomfort. D. Encouraging the child to press or pat the itchy area rather than scratch helps prevent skin breakdown and secondary infection. E. Keeping fingernails short reduces the risk of scratching and causing further damage to the skin.
