Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client following an open colectomy. Which of the following findings places the client at risk for delayed wound healing?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Hyperemesis. Hyperemesis, or severe vomiting, can lead to dehydration and malnutrition, impairing the body's ability to heal wounds post-surgery. Dehydration decreases blood flow to the wound site, reducing oxygen and nutrients necessary for healing. Malnutrition also hinders tissue repair and immune function. INR 1.1 (
A) within normal range indicates adequate blood clotting. HbA1C 5.6% (
C) reflects good long-term blood sugar control, not directly related to delayed wound healing. Uncontrolled pain (
D) can increase stress and affect immune response, but it is not the primary factor in delayed wound healing in this scenario.
