D
Feedback:
The nurse is correct to instruct the client to rotate the use of different shoes allowing the shoes time to evaporate shoe moisture from use. The fungus particularly grows in dark, warm, moist areas. Eliminating the factors decreases the risk of further outbreaks. The other options are not necessary.
