Question 1 of 5
A medical-surgical nurse is assisting a wound care nurse with the debridement of a client's coccyx wound. What is the primary goal of this action?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Removing dead or infected tissue to promote wound healing. Debridement is the process of removing non-viable tissue from a wound to create an environment conducive to healing. Dead or infected tissue can impede wound healing by promoting infection and delaying the formation of healthy tissue. By removing this tissue, the body can focus its resources on repairing the wound.
Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because while they are important aspects of wound care, they do not address the primary goal of debridement, which is to remove impediments to healing.
Choice A focuses on preventing maceration of surrounding skin, choice B on promoting granulation tissue growth, and choice C on assessing the wound accurately. It is essential to prioritize removing dead or infected tissue for optimal wound healing outcomes.
