F: Analgesics are needed for pain management.

B: Moist, not dry, dressings are recommended to promote healing.

D: Contact and airborne precautions are not required for SJS (they are for

shingles).A client with cellulitis of the lower leg is receiving care.Which intervention should the nurse implement to reduce swelling and promote drainage?
