Practice Question
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a stage 4 pressure injury. Which of the following supplies should the nurse obtain?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Syringe
Rationale:
⬛ A syringe is used to irrigate a stage 4 pressure injury, helping to cleanse the wound and remove debris or exudate.
⬛ Cotton-tipped applicators and tongue depressors are for smaller or superficial wounds, not deep stage 4 ulcers.
⬛ Adhesive tape is used for securing dressings but is not a wound cleansing tool.
⬛ Proper wound irrigation supports healing and reduces infection risk in deep wounds.
⬛ Using the correct supplies ensures effective and safe wound care.
