Question 5 of 5
The nurse is caring for the client with a split-thickness skin graft taken from the thigh to cover a burn on the back. Which intervention should the nurse expect to implement to help reduce the risk of infection at the donor and graft site?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Pseudomonas has been found in plants and flowers, which may be a source of wound infection. Wound cultures are used to confirm an infection but do not prevent one. Sterile technique, not clean technique, would eliminate additional sources of infection. Continual low-dosage antibiotic infusions would not be effective due to increased metabolism in burn clients.
