Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following a cholecystectomy and has a closed-suction drain. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Secure the drain to the client's gown. This is important to prevent accidental dislodgement or pulling of the drain, which could lead to complications such as bleeding or infection. Emptying the drain when it is three-quarters full (
A) is not the priority in this scenario; securing the drain takes precedence. Irrigating the drain with sterile saline daily (
C) is not recommended as it can introduce pathogens and disrupt the healing process. Replacing the drain every 48 hours (
