A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the parents of a preschooler who has atopic dermatitis. Which of the following information should the nurse include?

You will need to take the entire prescription of antibiotics even if your symptoms improve.' Atopic dermatitis is not typically treated with antibiotics, as it is not caused by a bacterial infection. Therefore, this statement is not relevant and would not be included in the teaching. 'The doctor will remove the lesions with liquid nitrogen.' Liquid nitrogen is not typically used to remove lesions associated with atopic dermatitis. Atopic dermatitis lesions are usually managed with topical treatments and other measures to reduce inflammation and itching. Therefore, this statement is not accurate and would not be included in the teaching. 'The doctor might recommend an antihistamine to help control your symptoms.' Antihistamines may be prescribed to help relieve itching associated with atopic dermatitis. Itching is a common symptom of atopic dermatitis, and antihistamines can help reduce this symptom. Therefore, this statement is relevant and would be included in the teaching. 'You can relieve your child's discomfort by applying warm compresses to the lesions.' Warm compresses can exacerbate itching associated with atopic dermatitis by increasing blood flow.
