A nurse is teaching the parent of a school-age child who has scabies about the application of permethrin 5% cream. The nurse should include which of the following as a potential adverse effect of the medication?

A. Set up the sterile field 7.6 cm (3 in) below waist level - While it's important to maintain a sterile field, the specific height mentioned is not a standard requirement.

B. Hold the bottle of sterile solution with the palm over the label while pouring - This is

incorrect because it increases the risk of contaminating the solution by touching the label.

C. Place the sterile items within 1 cm (0.4 in) of the edge of the sterile border - This is the correct action as it ensures that sterile items are easily accessible without reaching over the sterile field, minimizing the risk of contamination.

D. Place the lid of a bottle of sterile solution within the sterile field - Placing the lid inside the sterile field increases the risk of contamination, as the lid is not considered sterile.

A. Holding the newborn in an en face position: This action promotes bonding between the mother and the newborn and is a positive interaction.

B. Asking the father to change the newborn's diaper: Involving the father in caregiving tasks fosters family involvement and bonding.

C. Viewing the newborn's actions to be uncooperative: This suggests a negative perception of the newborn's behavior, which could indicate potential issues with bonding or misunderstanding

infant cues, requiring the nurse's intervention.

D. Requesting the nurse take the newborn to the nursery so she can rest: While rest is important for the mother, separating the newborn from the mother could disrupt bonding and breastfeeding, so this action should be discussed further with the client to explore other options.
