Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Symptoms include abnormal opening of the wound and sudden strain from vomiting, coughing, or sneezing.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Drains, tubes, catheters, drainage tubing, and adapters are used for one patient only; they are never reused for another patient. If not properly handled by the scrub person and circulating nurse, a drain can be a source of wound contamination or irritation. The scrub person must keep the end of the drain sterile until it is connected to the sterile end of the drainage tubing.
