surgery. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider
immediately?
A. Serosanguineous drainage on the dressing
B. Temperature of 100.4°F (38°C)
C. Dehiscence of the surgical wound
D. Pain rated 5/10 at the incision site
Answer: C
Rationale: Wound dehiscence (separation of the surgical incision) is a surgical
emergency that requires immediate intervention because it can lead to
,evisceration and infection. Serosanguineous drainage is expected, a low-grade
fever can be a normal inflammatory response, and moderate pain is expected
postoperatively.

understanding?
A. "I will increase my intake of leafy green vegetables."
B. "I will use a soft toothbrush and electric razor."
C. "I will take aspirin for headaches."
D. "I will double my dose if I miss one."
, Answer: B

toothbrush and electric razor reduces bleeding risk. Clients should maintain
consistent (not increased) vitamin K intake, avoid aspirin (increases bleeding
risk), and never double doses.
