Question

question 5 1 pts the nurse is teaching a group of teenagers about skin care and sun damage. which statement by a participant indicates the need for further instruction? “it is important to apply sunscreen about 30 minutes before sun exposure.” “the safest time of day to engage in water sports and avoid sun damage is from 10 a.m. to noon.” “although i have a darker complexion, i am still at risk for sun damage.” “my sunscreen should ideally have spf 30 or higher.”

Explanation:

• Applying sunscreen 30 minutes before sun exposure allows it to bind to skin and work effectively, so this is correct.
• 10 A.M. to noon has intense UV radiation, making it a high-risk time for sun damage, not safe. This shows a need for more instruction.
• All skin tones, including darker complexions, are at risk for sun damage, so this is correct.
• SPF 30 or higher is recommended for adequate sun protection, so this is correct.

Answer:

B. "The safest time of day to engage in water sports and avoid sun damage is from 10 A.M. to noon."
