A) Conditioner added to the client's hair
B) Use of a wide-toothed comb
C) Use of finasteride (Propecia)
D) Attaching a hair extension
C
Feedback:
The nurse is correct to instruct on the restriction of finasteride (Propecia) for women due to the androgenic inhibitor property. The use of a hair conditioner and wide-toothed comb is encouraged to not break or damage the hair. Attaching a hair extension is common to provide more hair on the head.
