The school nurse is speaking to a group of children in middle school about preventing infection. How can the nurse best explain why it is so important for the children to keep from injuring their skin?


1. “Your skin cells are packed together tightly to keep germs out. If you disrupt that barrier, germs can get into your body.”
2. “The sweat on your skin discourages germ growth. You don’t want to damage the cells that produce sweat.”
3. “You shed skin cells all the time, along with the germs on the skin.”
4. “If you damage the skin’s outer layer, it will never grow back.”
5. “The deep layers of your skin have special cells that eat germs.”
