Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about the risk factors for dehiscence for clients who have surgical incisions. Which of the following factors should the nurse include in the teaching? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A,B,E
Rationale: The correct factors for dehiscence risk are wound infection, obesity, and poor nutritional state. Wound infection can delay healing and weaken tissue integrity, leading to dehiscence. Obesity puts extra strain on the incision site, increasing the likelihood of separation. Poor nutritional state impairs the body's ability to heal properly. Altered mental status and pain medication administration do not directly impact tissue integrity or healing process, thus are not significant risk factors for dehiscence.
