Correct answer
A. Rinse, pat dry, apply aftershave or lotion only if the resident wishes, and check for cuts or irritation

Removing cream and patting dry prevents irritation, and a quick skin check catches nicks the resident may not feel. Products are used only if the resident wants them and the care plan allows.
