Rationale:
Correct
Answer: C
Rationale:
1. Cleansing the wound with 0.9% sodium chloride saline irrigation before obtaining the specimen is essential to remove debris and contaminants, ensuring a more accurate culture result.
2. This step helps reduce the risk of introducing external microorganisms into the specimen, which could lead to false-positive results.
3. Antiseptics or intact skin should not be included in the culture as they can interfere with the identification of the infectious microorganisms.
4. Swabbing an area away from the wound is not appropriate as it does not provide an accurate representation of the microorganisms causing the infection.
