The nurse is teaching parents about caring for their infant with seborrheic dermatitis (cradle cap). Which statement by the parents indicates understanding of the teaching?
a. "We will rinse off the shampoo quickly and dry the scalp thoroughly."
b. "We will shampoo the hair every other day with antiseborrheic shampoo."
c. "We will be sure to shampoo the hair without removing any of the crusts."
d. "We will use a fine-tooth comb to help remove the loosened crusts from the strands of hair."
ANS: D
A fine-tooth comb or a soft facial brush helps remove the loosened crusts from the strands of hair after shampooing. This is an accurate statement. Shampoo should applied to the scalp and allowed to remain on the scalp until the crusts soften. Shampoo should not be rinsed off quickly. The crusts should be removed, and shampooing with antiseborrheic shampoo should be done daily, not every other day.
