A client presents fоr а 2-week fоllоw-up of eczemаtous dermаtitis. Reports no improvement since the last visit. Client states, "I’ve been using the fragrance-free lotions and taking my antihistamines, but my skin is still bright red and itching so badly I can’t sleep." The nurse notes bilateral antecubital areas show confluent, erythematous plaques with moderate edema and serous crusting. Skin is warm to the touch. No purulent drainage or foul odor noted. Which medication should the nurse anticipate the healthcare provider will prescribe?
