proper skin care routines

How to Address Specific Skin Conditions?

Nurses must be adept at managing various skin conditions:
- Dry Skin: Regular use of emollients can help keep the skin hydrated.
- Pressure Ulcers: Reposition patients every two hours and use pressure-relieving devices.
- Incontinence-Associated Dermatitis: Clean and dry the skin promptly after episodes of incontinence and use barrier creams.
- Infections: Monitor for signs of infection, such as redness, warmth, and discharge, and follow appropriate wound care protocols.
