Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

The inflammatory phase begins with the surgical incision. Sanguineous drainage contains both serum and red blood cells and has a thick, reddish appearance. The proliferative phase begins within 2 to 3 days after surgery. Stationary is not a phase of wound healing. In the remodeling phase, scar tissue is remodeled by a process of collagen synthesis and breakdown to increase its strength. This phase begins about 3 weeks after surgery and can continue for 6 or more months.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

Promoting lung expansion and systemic oxygenation of tissues is a goal in preventing atelectasis. Nursing care includes assisting with incentive spirometry. Deep vein thrombosis, hemorrhage, and pulmonary embolism are not related to incentive spirometer use.
