B
Feedback:
To maintain skin integrity to avoid skin infections, the client should be advised to wash the perineum, change linens, and expose the affected area to air. These are important measures that help avoid skin infection or irritation. The application of moisture sealant will help protect the skin, and using an electric room deodorizer helps prevent urinary odors. The client should be advised not to use scented sprays or perfumes, which can be irritating.
