Nine days after abdominal surgery, a nurse notices a complete separation of the outer layers of the patient's wound. The nurse identifies this rare and extremely serious condition as

1. Evisceration.
2. Sinus tract.
3. Phagocytosis.
4. Dehiscence.

Question 2

A nurse notes that there is a large amount of sanguineous drainage on a patient's dressing. There are no physician orders for a dressing change, so the nurse will

2. Continue to monitor the dressing.
3. Carefully clean around the wound.
4. Reinforce the dressing with additional dressings.
