Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a patient with a healing Stage II pressure ulcer. The wound is clean and granulating. Which health care provider's order will the nurse question?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Clean the wound with hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is not recommended for wound cleaning as it can be cytotoxic to healing tissues and delay wound healing. The rationale behind this is that hydrogen peroxide can damage healthy skin cells and impede the healing process. Instead, using a gentle wound cleanser or saline solution is preferred to maintain a moist environment for optimal healing. Consulting a dietitian (
A) may be helpful for optimal nutrition, applying a hydrogel dressing (
B) can promote a moist wound environment, and using a low-air-loss therapy unit (
D) can aid in wound healing by reducing pressure and promoting circulation.
