Question 5 of 5
A yellow crust has formed over the circumcision site. The mother calls the hotline at the local hospital 5 days after her son was circumcised. She is very concerned. Which response by the nurse is most appropriate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because crusting is a normal part of healing after circumcision. It is important not to remove the yellow crust, as it is a natural part of the healing process. It is essential to differentiate between normal yellowish exudate and purulent drainage of infection. Discontinuing the use of petroleum jelly is not necessary unless a specific device was used for circumcision. Keeping the diaper loose is important to prevent rubbing or pressure on the incision site.
