A. Teach caregivers to change diapers when wet.
✅ Correct. Prevents skin breakdown and diaper dermatitis.

B. Have caregivers administer 16 oz of water after each diarrhea stool.

❌ Incorrect. Harsh soaps can irritate the skin. Best practice: gentle cleansing with warm water or mild wipes, and barrier ointment if needed.

F. Teach caregivers to apply talcum powder to creases.
❌ Incorrect. Talcum powder is contraindicated in infants (risk of aspiration & respiratory issues). Barrier creams preferred.

G. Use a nasal aspirator after feedings.
