Answer 1

Ans :A

review stress reduction strategies with the client

Review stress reduction strategies with the client. stress is an important trigger in psoariasis . It can cause flare up and severe itching. Management of stress play an important role in it's control .

Psoariasis being a non contagious disease doesn't require contact isolation.

And in psoriasis it's important to keep skin most with emollient not dry.

The Pathophysiology of psoriasis and allergy are different. So need not do allergen test in psoriasis exaceebation.
