Select all that apply
Choices A, E, and F are correct. The nurse should instruct clients to wash their faces daily with a mild cleanser to remove any build-up and debris. Oil-based products should be avoided because they are comedogenic and may contribute to the development of acne. It is recommended that tanning beds and prolonged sunlight without appropriate SPF should be avoided because they may cause scarring and are a risk factor for skin cancer.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. Hair is oily and may contribute to the occlusion of pores. Thus, the nurse should advise clients to keep their hair off their forehead and shampoo it regularly. Sun exposure for acne is unhelpful and causes scarring of the skin. A sunscreen of at least an SPF 30 is recommended when outdoors. Sunscreens that should be selected include non-comedogenic so they will not clog the pores. Squeezing acne with fingers may contribute to an infection and cause scarring. It is recommended that hands are kept off of acne.
