A teen who has just had a body piercing asks the school nurse if it is okay to swap jewelry with her friends. The nurse's best response would be:
a. "Be sure that you share jewelry with someone you know is not sick.".
b. "Never share jewelry with someone else.".
c. "If you share jewelry with a friend, be sure to clean the jewelry with alcohol before inserting it.".
d. "Only use solid gold jewelry to prevent a reaction.".
B
Teens should be instructed to never share jewelry with another person. Cleaning with alcohol will not remove all organisms. Gold jewelry only is of benefit if a person is allergic to nickel or silver. It will not prevent contamination.
