The client with the condition illustrated is prescribed adapalene topical daily to the affected areas. Which information should the nurse exclude when planning client education?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The nurse should exclude exposing the back to the sun after adapalene (Differin) is applied. This increases the risk for sunburn. Adapalene should also not be applied to sunburned areas. The client has acne vulgaris. Adapalene should be applied once daily in the evening with a thin film.
