Ans: A
Feedback:
The nurse should instruct the client with acne to keep the affected areas clean and use over-the-counter acne drugs and water-based cosmetics or creams. The nurse need not instruct the client to stop receiving live virus vaccines, avoid using alcohol, or avoid exposure to infections. When the client is undergoing long-term or high-dose glucocorticoid therapy, the nurse should inform the client to avoid receiving live virus vaccines and avoid exposure to infections if possible in the teaching plan for the client and family. If the client is undergoing vasopressin therapy, the nurse needs to instruct the client to avoid the use of alcohol while taking the drug.
