A nurse is caring for a client with a diagnosis of tinea pedis. The client is prescribed a topical antifungal cream and asks the nurse about the appropriate application technique. Which instruction provided by the nurse is most accurate regarding the use of topical antifungal creams? Use a small amount of the antifungal cream and rub it gently into the affected area until it’s absorbed into the skin. Mix the antifungal cream with any regular moisturizer before applying it to the affected area for a more comfortable and effective application. Apply a thick layer of the antifungal cream and cover it with an airtight bandage to ensure faster healing. Apply the antifungal cream only to the area with visible fungal lesions and avoid surrounding skin to minimize side effects.
