Which intervention should the practical nurse (PN) reinforce for a client with pruritis?

A. A warm sleeping environment may exacerbate pruritus by increasing skin dryness and irritation. Cool, comfortable environments are generally better for clients with pruritus. B. Keeping fingernails trimmed short helps prevent skin damage and infection caused by scratching. This is a practical and effective measure to manage pruritus. C. Discouraging the use of skin lubricants is not advisable as they can help soothe and moisturize dry, itchy skin. Emollients and moisturizers are often recommended to manage pruritus. D. Advising against any type of tub bath is not necessary. Instead, the use of lukewarm baths with added colloidal oatmeal or other soothing agents can help reduce pruritus.
