Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Cotton gloves may be worn at night if scratching during sleep causes skin excoriation. The nurse should suggest that the client wear cotton gloves during sleep. The client should maintain good hydration; there is no need to restrict fluids. It is not necessary to take a bath every day. The client should avoid lotions containing alcohol.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B, D

Risk factors for contact dermatitis include allergies, family history of eczema, regular exposure to a moist environment; burns; exposure to plants, chemicals, and metals; and occupations that require frequent hand washing. Employment as a computer operator does not increase the risk of developing contact dermatitis. Vital signs are not linked to the development of contact dermatitis.
