Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to perform a wet-to-dry dressing change for a client who has an infected abdominal wound. Which of the following techniques should the nurse use when performing this dressing change?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Cleaning from the center to the outer edges prevents contamination by avoiding dragging bacteria from surrounding skin into the wound. Tape should be pulled parallel to the skin, clean gloves suffice, and moistening defeats the dry removal purpose.

A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of pancreatitis. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
