Answer:
"I will put a layer of cloth between my skin and the ice pack."
Explanation:
Teaching has been affective when the client understands that a layer of cloth is needed between the ice pack and skin to preserve skin integrity. The ice pack should be removed if skin becomes mottled or numb, as this indicates that the cold therapy is too cold. The ice pack can be in place for no more than 20-30 minutes at a time, and a minimum of 30 minutes should go by before reapplying.
