Question 2 of 5
A nurse is evaluating a client's response to negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). Which outcome indicates that the therapy is effective?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Decreased edema in the wound area indicates that NPWT is effective, as NPWT applies negative pressure (suction) to the wound, which removes excess fluid, reduces swelling, and improves blood circulation to the area.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a pressure ulcer on the sacrum. Which intervention should the nurse perform first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The nurse should follow the ABCDE priority-setting framework when caring for a client with a pressure ulcer. The first priority is to address airway, breathing, and circulation (ABC) issues, which include relieving pressure on the wound to prevent further tissue damage and promote blood flow to the area.
Question 4 of 5
A client is receiving negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) for a diabetic foot ulcer. Which action should the nurse take when changing the dressing?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The nurse should apply sterile saline to moisten the foam dressing before removal, as this helps to prevent trauma and bleeding from adherent dressing. The nurse should also wear sterile gloves and use aseptic technique when changing the dressing.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has a pressure ulcer on the sacrum. Which finding indicates a possible infection of the wound?
