2. The nurse is caring for a postoperative patient with an incision. Which actions will the nurse take
to decrease wound infections? (Select all that apply.)
a. Maintain normoglycemia.
b. Use a straight razor to remove hair.
c. Provide bath and linen change daily.
d. Perform first dressing change 2 days postoperatively.
e. Perform hand hygiene before and after contact with the patient.
f. Administer antibiotics within 60 minutes before surgical incision.
ANS: A, E
Performing hand hygiene before and after contact with the patient helps to decrease the number of
microorganisms and break the chain of infection. Maintaining blood glucose levels at less than 150
mg/dL has resulted in decreased wound infection. Removing unwanted hair by clipping instead of
shaving decreases the numbers of nicks and cuts caused by a razor and the potential for the
introduction of microbes. The patient is postoperative; administration of an antibiotic 60 minutes before
the surgical incision supports the defense against infection preoperatively. Providing a bath and linen
change daily is positive but is not necessarily important for infection control. Many surgeons prefer to
change surgical dressings the first time so they can inspect the incisional area, but this is done before 2
days postoperatively.
