Answer :

The correct statement that the nurse should make to an adolescent client about tinea pedis is: "You should wear clean, light-colored socks daily so that your feet remain cool." Explanation: 1. Tinea pedis, commonly known as athlete's foot, is a fungal infection that affects the feet. 2. Wearing clean, light-colored socks daily helps keep the feet dry and cool, creating an environment less conducive to fungal growth. 3. It is important to maintain good foot hygiene to prevent and treat tinea pedis. 4. The other statements about washing hair with dandruff-preventing shampoo, taking antiviral medication, or staying home from school do not directly address the appropriate care for tinea pedis. By emphasizing the importance of wearing clean, light-colored socks daily, the nurse is providing practical advice to help manage and prevent tinea pedis in the adolescent client.
