The mother of a toddler is upset because the child experiences rashes in the winter. What should the nurse suggest to help with this skin condition?

A. Polyvinyl or non-breathable materials can trap moisture and heat, which may worsen skin irritation and rashes. Breathable fabrics are preferred to prevent sweating and friction that can exacerbate eczema or dry skin. B. Hot water and harsh soaps strip natural oils from the skin, increasing dryness and irritation. Mild, lukewarm baths with fragrance-free cleansers are recommended for children with sensitive skin. C. Loose-fitting cotton clothing allows the skin to breathe, reduces friction, and helps prevent irritation from wool or synthetic fibers. Cotton is gentle on sensitive skin and is recommended for children prone to winter rashes or atopic dermatitis. D. Rubbing alcohol is highly irritating and can cause further dryness and burning. It is not appropriate for treating rashes, especially in toddlers with sensitive skin. Moisturizers and barrier creams are preferred.
