Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Only plain, tepid water should be used on the irradiated skin. The client can wear cotton clothing next to the irradiated skin, because it will not irritate the skin. The client should apply at least an SPF 15 sunscreen on the skin: SPF 8 is not sufficient to protect this hypersensitive skin from sunburns. A cooling device should not be used on the treated area, because the skin will be highly sensitive.
