单项选择题
When caring for a client with a 3-cm stage 1 pressure ulcer on the coccyx, which of the following actions can the nurse institute independently
A．Using a povidone-iodine wash on the ulceration three times per day.
B．Using a normal saline solution and applying a protective dressing as necessary.
C．Applying an antibiotic cream to the area three times per day.
D．Massaging the area with an astringent every 2 hours.
答案
参考答案：B
解析：Washing the area with normal saline solution and applying a protective dressing are within the nurse's realm of interventions and will protect the area. Using a povidone-iodine wash and an antibiotic cream require a physician's order. Massaging with an astringent can further damage the skin.
