Question 1 of 5
Which piece of information should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Yellow exudate, which is a normal part of the healing process, will form at the surgical site within 24 hours. This is a normal part of the healing process and should not be mistaken for pus, which would indicate an infection. Ensuring the diaper is snug is general care, a dark red tip isn't a specific concern, and the Plastibell falls off naturally after about a week, not 4 hours.
