The nurse finds a nursing assistant massaging this area. The nurse should:
1. Reinforce the nursing assistant's use of this intervention over the bony prominence.
2. Explain to the nursing assistant that massage is effective because it improves blood flow to the area.
3. Inform the nursing assistant that massage is even more effective when combined with the use of lotion.
4. Instruct the nursing assistant that massage is contraindicated because it decreases blood flow to the area.
