  1. A teenager has been using acne medications for the last 14 days. Her acne is no better, and in fact, it is a little worse. What information should the nurse offer this girl?
a. “Wash your face at least four times a day, making sure to scrub well.”
b. “The medications can make acne appear worse at first; try to give it a few more weeks.”
c. “Avoid all chocolate products.”
d. “Because it is summertime, it would be good for your skin if you lie out in the sun for a few hours each day.”

 

 

ANS:  B

Acne is common in adolescents. Evidence indicates that dietary restrictions for acne are unnecessary. Although washing with soap and water is the best way to remove dirt, vigorous scrubbing should be discouraged. Furthermore, although sunlight can have a beneficial effect on acne, prolonged exposure should be avoided. Topical acne products make acne appear worse initially, and improvement occurs slowly over several months. Nurses should provide this information to teenagers planning to use acne products, so they are not discouraged early in therapy.

The first sign of puberty in females is the appearance of breast buds, followed by a growth spurt. The onset of menstruation occurs approximately 2 years after the appearance of breast buds and near the end of the growth spurt. Thus, based on the age of breast bud appearance, the girl should start menstruating around age 14.
