Chapter 52: Integumentary Dysfunction Perry: Maternal Child Care Nursing in Canada

MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. A child falls on the playground and has a small laceration on the forearm. What should the
school nurse do to cleanse the wound?
a. Slowly pour hydrogen peroxide over
wound.
b. Soak arm in warm water and soap for
at least 30 minutes.
c. Gently cleanse with sterile pad and a
non stinging povidone-iodine solution.
d. Wash wound with mild soap and water
or saline for several minutes.

ANS: D
Lacerations should be washed with mild soap and water or normal saline. A sterile pad is not
necessary, and hydrogen peroxide and povidone-iodine should not be used because they have
a cytotoxic effect on healthy cells and minimal effect on controlling infection. Soaking the arm
does not effectively clean the wound.

hygiene before and after contact with the affected child. Corticosteroids are not indicated in
bacterial infections. Dressings are usually not indicated. The undermined skin, crusts, and
debris are carefully removed after softening with moist compresses. A Wood lamp is used to
detect fluorescent materials in the skin and hair in certain disease states such as tinea capitis.
