Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has a wound infection. Which of the following actions should the nurse take when obtaining a wound-drainage specimen for culture?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Cleanse the wound with 0.9% sodium chloride saline irrigation before obtaining the specimen. This is important to ensure that the specimen collected is not contaminated with external bacteria. By cleansing the wound with saline, the nurse reduces the risk of introducing external pathogens into the specimen, which could lead to inaccurate culture results.

A: Irrigating the wound with an antiseptic prior to obtaining the specimen may interfere with the culture results by inhibiting the growth of bacteria that are causing the infection.
B: Including intact skin at the wound edges in the culture is not recommended as it may not provide an accurate representation of the bacteria causing the infection.
C: Swabbing an area of skin away from the wound to identify the usual flora is irrelevant for obtaining a wound-drainage specimen for culture.
