The mother of an 8 year old with steri-strips to the right temporal area has been receiving teaching about caring for the wound. The nurse knows that the mother understands the teaching when she states:
1. "I will need to remove the stitches in two days, and then bring my child back for more steri-strips.".
2. "I will clean the area with peroxide and keep the steri-strips dry.".
3. "I will keep the sterile dressing over the wound for the next 12 hours.".
4. "I will leave the steri-strips alone, and they will fall off in 7 to 10 days.".

Feedback
1. The child does not have stitches.
2. Cleansing the area with peroxide will not keep the area dry.
3. A sterile dressing is not needed at this time because the steri strips are in place.
4. The steri strips should be left alone to fall off when the wound heals.
