Answer to Question 1
ANS: B, D, F
The eczematous lesions of atopic dermatitis are intensely pruritic. Scratching can lead to new lesions and secondary infection; an antihistamine can be used. Keeping the skin hydrated is a goal of treating atopic dermatitis. Applying an emollient immediately after a bath helps to trap moisture and prevent moisture loss. Using warm compresses to relieve discomfort, bathing the baby in a bubble bath, and using fabric softener are not appropriate suggestions for this condition.
