Answer 1

The best action for the nurse to take when a client with burns on his groin develops blisters that break while bathing is to clean the area with normal saline solution and cover it with a protective dressing.

Step-by-step explanation:

The best action for the nurse to take when a client with burns on his groin has developed blisters that break while bathing is to clean the area with normal saline solution and cover it with a protective dressing (option d).
