When caring for an obese patient who has been bedridden for a long time and who has a nursing diagnosis of "Risk for infection, related to obesity," the nurse should access for the moist red lesions of Candida albicans, especially on the:

A. Candida albicans thrives in warm, moist, dark environments, making abdominal skin folds in obese patients a common site for infection. Moisture trapped between skin folds can lead to maceration, irritation, and development of red, moist lesions with satellite pustules, characteristic of candidal infections. B. Sacrum and bony prominences are more susceptible to pressure ulcers rather than primary candidal infections. While skin breakdown in these areas can become secondarily infected, candidiasis is more typical in skin folds. C. While the genital area can develop candidal infections, the shaft of the penis in a circumcised adult is less prone to Candida overgrowth than moist skin folds in obese individuals. D. The scalp and behind the ears are less common sites for Candida infections in adults. These areas are not typically warm and moist enough to promote fungal overgrowth in a bedridden, obese patient.
