Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following abdominal surgery. The nurse discovers a loop of bowel protruding through an opening in the surgical incision. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Apply moistened sterile gauze to the site. This action is appropriate as it helps to prevent the exposed bowel from drying out and becoming damaged. Placing the head of the bed flat (option
A) is incorrect as it does not address the immediate issue of the protruding bowel. Gently reinserting the bowel (option
B) can cause further damage and should only be done by a surgeon. Positioning the client on the left side (option
C) is not the priority in this situation. Applying moistened sterile gauze (option
D) is the correct immediate action to protect the exposed bowel.
