Answer to Question 1

4
Regular usage of body moisturizers, particularly within 3 to 5 minutes after bathing or showering, will aid in the prevention of dry, flaking, and itching skin. Perfumed lotions and scented soaps contain alcohol, which will exacerbate pruritis and inflammation. Skin oil does not penetrate into the skin.

Answer to Question 2

3
The client should be instructed to apply the medication to the skin after bathing since hydration of the area will increase absorption of the medication. The medication should not be applied directly to broken or irritated skin. The medication should not be applied before bathing. The area should not be covered with an occlusive dressing.
