Feedback:
The client with pruritus should rinse clothes in clear water and avoid using fabric softeners, starch, and antistatic chemicals. The client should lightly slap instead of scratch the areas, and keep the fingernails short to prevent scratching the rash. Baths and showers should be cool, nonallergenic makeup can be worn, and cotton instead of wool clothing should be worn.
