Question 1 of 5

The nurse is instructing the parents of a child who underwent a surgical repair of a myelomeningocele on how to change an occlusive dressing on the child's back. Which parental statement indicates understanding of the procedure?

A. The skin incision should be kept moist by periodically wetting the dressing. B. When changing the dressing, the tape should be removed rapidly from the edges. C. The incision should be protected from fecal contamination by an intact dressing. D. To ensure easy removal of the sutures, the dressing should be kept dry.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: An intact dressing prevents fecal contamination, reducing infection risk. Keeping the incision moist or removing tape rapidly can disrupt healing, and while a dry dressing aids suture removal, preventing contamination is the priority.
