Correct Answer: C. Encourage the patient to increase his fluid intake, use non-
irritating soap when bathing the patient, and apply lotion to the involved areas.
Dry skin will eventually crack, ranking the patient more prone to infection. To prevent this,
the nurse should provide adequate hydration through fluid intake, use non irritating soaps
or no soap when bathing the patient, and lubricate the patient’s skin with lotion. In most
cases, dry skin responds well to lifestyle measures, such as using moisturizers and
avoiding long, hot showers and baths. Moisturizers provide a seal over the skin to keep
water from escaping. Apply moisturizer several times a day and after bathing.
Option B: The attending physician and dietitian may be consulted for treatment,
but home-laundered items usually are not necessary. Natural fibers, such as
cotton and silk, allow the skin to breathe. But wool, although natural, can irritate
even normal skin. Wash clothes with detergents without dyes or perfumes, both of
which can irritate the skin.
Option C: Increasing fat intake is unnecessary. Hot, dry, indoor air can parch
sensitive skin and worsen itching and flaking. A portable home humidifier or one
attached to the furnace adds moisture to the air inside the home. Be sure to keep
the humidifier clean. It’s best to use cleansing creams or gentle skin cleansers and
bath or shower gels with added moisturizers. Choose mild soaps that have added
oils and fats. Avoid deodorant and antibacterial detergents, fragrance, and alcohol.
Option D: Bathing may be limited but need not be avoided entirely. Long showers
or baths and hot water remove oils from your skin. Limit your bath or shower to
five to 10 minutes and use warm, not hot, water.

distal to the proximal areas. This technique:

Washing from distal to proximal areas stimulates venous blood flow, thereby preventing
venous stasis. Good personal hygiene is essential for skin health but it also has an
important role in maintaining self-esteem and quality of life. Supporting patients to
maintain personal hygiene is a fundamental aspect of nursing care.
Option A: The nurse can assess the patient’s condition throughout the bath.
Helping patients to wash and dress is frequently delegated to junior staff, but time
spent attending to a patient’s hygiene needs is a valuable opportunity for nurses to
carry out a holistic assessment (Dougherty and Lister, 2015; Burns and Day, 2012).
It also allows time to address any concerns patients have and provides a valuable
opportunity to assess the condition of their skin.
Option B: The nurse should feel no strain while bathing the patient. Nurses should
also discuss with patients any religious and cultural issues relating to personal
care (Dougherty and Lister, 2015). For example, ideally, Muslim patients should be
cared for by a nurse of the same gender (Rassool, 2015), and Hindus may wish to
wash before prayer (Dougherty and Lister, 2015).
Option D: It improves circulation but does not result in vasoconstriction. Bed
bathing is not as effective as showering or bathing and should only be undertaken
when there is no alternative (Dougherty and Lister, 2015). If a bed bath is required,
it is important to offer patients the opportunity to participate in their own care,
which helps to maintain their independence, self-esteem and dignity.
