While caring for a 4-year-old girl with vulvovaginitis, the nurse teaches the girl's mother how to prevent subsequent episodes. Which of the following responses by the mother indicates a need for further teaching?
A) "I'll tell her to wipe from front to back."
B) "I will make sure she changes her underwear every day."
C) "She should probably avoid taking bubble baths."
D) "I'll help supervise her wiping after bowel movements."
A
Response:
At the age of 4, the mother should not assume that the girl will wipe properly, from front to back. Therefore, the mother will need to supervise her wiping to train her properly. Daily underwear changes and avoidance of bubble baths are appropriate responses.
