How Can Nurses Ensure Even Application of Topical Medications?
To ensure even application of topical medications, nurses should follow these steps: 1. Clean the area: Ensure the skin is clean and dry before application. 2. Measure the dose: Use the appropriate amount of medication as prescribed. 3. Spread evenly: Use a gloved hand or an applicator to spread the medication uniformly over the affected area. 4. Monitor: Observe the area for any signs of adverse reactions or improvement.
