A client with eczema receives a prescription for betamethasone cream. Which client statement indicates to the nurse that further teaching is needed?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Occlusive dressings increase betamethasone absorption, risking side effects like skin thinning, and are not routinely recommended unless prescribed. Using on intact skin, limiting to 2 weeks, and avoiding sunlight are appropriate.
