The mother of a 5-year-old child with eczema is getting a check-up for her child before school starts. What will the nurse do during the visit?
A) Change the bandage on a cut on the child's hand
B) Assess the compliance with treatment regimens
C) Discuss systemic corticosteroid therapy
D) Assess the child's fluid volume
Ans: B
Maintaining proper therapy for eczema can be exhausting both physically and mentally. Therefore, it is essential that the nurse assess compliance and support the parents' ability to cope if necessary. Changing a bandage is not part of a health maintenance visit. Hydration is important for a child with eczema; however, fluid volume is not the focus at this visit. Systemic corticosteroid therapy is very rarely used and the success of the current therapy needs to be assessed first.
