Understanding the physiology of skin when it is injured by MASD is an
important concept. Skin that is occluded by an absorptive type product
(i.e. adult brief) results in what altered skin barrier effect?
a. Decrease in TEWL (trans-epidermal water loss) & skin pH
b. Increase in TEWL (trans-epidermal water loss) & skin pH
c. Less perspiration

epidermal water loss) & skin pH
