Which statement made by the nurse would teach an adolescent using tampons how to prevent toxic shock syndrome (TSS)?

A. Gloves should be worn when changing tampons: Wearing gloves is not necessary; good hand hygiene (washing hands before and after) is the recommended practice. B. Super-absorbency tampons are effective for overnight absorption: Super-absorbency tampons increase risk of toxic shock syndrome when used for long periods; use the lowest absorbency needed and avoid prolonged/overnight use. C. Tampons should be changed at least every 4 hours: Frequent changing (generally every 4–8 hours, with many guidelines emphasizing changing at least every 4 hours to reduce risk) helps lower the risk of toxic shock syndrome. D. TSS can be prevented by using a pad for the first 2 days of menstrual flow: Using pads at times of heavy flow may reduce tampon exposure but there is no rule that using a pad for the first 2 days alone prevents TSS; overall measures include using lowest absorbency needed, changing regularly, and avoiding prolonged tampon use.
