A healthy 8-year-old girl is brought to the physician in July for a well-child examination. Her mother says that her daughter is spending the summer at a nearby lake. Over the past month, she has had two episodes of painful sunburn despite her mother's efforts, including SPF 25 sunblock just before she goes swimming and urging her to wear a hat and long-sleeved garments. The child takes no medications. She has blond hair, blue eyes, and a fair complexion. The mother seeks advice about preventing further sun damage to her child's skin. Which of the following is the most appropriate recommendation?
A) Prohibit swimming on cloudless days
B) Apply the sunblock lotion 45 minutes before swimming
C) Change to a higher-level SPF lotion
D) Apply Burrow's solution compresses after each overexposure
E) Daily use of antioxidant vitamin supplement
F) Early treatment of any sun overexposure with topical corticosteroids

thanks. i got it wrong and now think B
sunscreen won't work well if put on right before exposure to sun. i think it is 45 minutes? to get the protection layer forming. UW said that. can't be sure of the timing though. but has to be a while
