Question 1 of 5
An adolescent who has diabetes mellitus is 2 days postop following an appendectomy. The client is tolerating a regular diet. He has ambulated successfully around the unit with assistance. He requests pain meds Q 6-8 hr while reporting pain at a 2 on a scale of 1-10 after receiving the med. His incision is approximated & free of redness, with scant serous drainage on the dressing. Which of the following risk factors for poor wound healing does this client have? Select all.
Correct Answer: B, C
Rationale: The correct answers are B (Impaired circulation) and C (Impaired/suppressed immune system). Impaired circulation can lead to decreased oxygen and nutrient delivery to the wound site, hindering the healing process. In this case, the adolescent may have impaired circulation due to diabetes mellitus. An impaired/suppressed immune system can also delay wound healing by impairing the body's ability to fight off infection and promote tissue repair. The other options are not applicable in this scenario: A (Extremes in age) does not apply as the client is an adolescent; D (Malnutrition) is not indicated as the client is tolerating a regular diet; and E (Poor wound care) is not evident as the incision is well-approximated and free of redness, with only scant serous drainage.
