⩥ Place the evacuator on a flat surface with the open outlet facing
upward; continue pressing downward until the bottom and the top are in
contact; hold the surfaces together with one hand, quickly cleanse the
opening and the plug with the other hand, and immediately replace the
plug; and then secure the evacuator to the patient's bed. Compression of
the surface of the Hemovac creates a vacuum. Cleansing of the plug
reduces transmission of microorganisms into the drainage evacuation.
Be sure the Penrose drain has a sterile safety pin in place. This pin
prevents the drain from being pulled below the skin's surface. Compress
the bulb of a JP drain over the drainage container. Cleanse the ends of
the emptying port with an alcohol sponge while continuing to compress
the container. Replacing the cap immediately prevents tension on the
drainage tubing, but does not help to reestablish the vacuum.

Answer: 16. The nurse is explaining wound healing to a patient. Which
of the following statements explains the healing that occurs during the
inflammatory stage of wound healing in a full-thickness wound?
⩥ a.
Answer: A reduction in the size of the wound is noted.
⩥ b.
Answer: The epithelial cells duplicate.
⩥ c.
, Answer: Synthesis of collagen occurs at the site.
⩥ d.
Answer: Blood flow to the wound and arrival of white blood cells are
increased.
⩥ ANS:
Answer: D
⩥ Vasodilatation occurs, allowing plasma and blood cells to leak into the
wound, noted as edema, erythema, and exudate. Leukocytes (white
blood cells) arrive in the wound to begin wound cleanup. Macrophages,
a type of white blood cell, appear and begin to regulate wound repair.
The result of the inflammatory phase is a clean wound bed in the patient
with an uncomplicated wound. It is during the proliferative stage, not the
inflammatory stage, that contraction causes a reduction in the size of the
wound, duplication of epithelial cells occurs, and collagen is
synthesized.
