Why must the skin be checked daily when a client has neuropathy?
- The skin heals faster, so few checks are needed
- The client may not feel sores, which can get infected quickly
- The skin of the feet is always too dry to check
- The client will always tell staff about sores
Show answer
Correct answer: The client may not feel sores, which can get infected quickly
Neuropathy hides irritation and open areas. Check the bottoms of the feet and between the toes.
