    TLDR Nurses should know about different moisturizers to help patients with dry, itchy skin choose the best one.
    The document from September 2009 discusses the importance of emollient therapy for managing atopic eczema and other dry, itchy skin conditions. It emphasizes the role of nurses in assessing patients' skin-care needs and educating them on the selection and application of bath additives, soap substitutes, and moisturizers. The text highlights that nurses, especially those with prescribing authority, should understand the specific needs of their patients and the properties of different emollients to make informed decisions. This knowledge allows nurses to assist patients in choosing the most effective emollient therapy to restore skin barrier function, reduce itchiness, and suit individual preferences.
