A nurse is assessing a newborn following a circumcision 48 hr ago. The nurse should identify that yellow exudate covering the newborn's glans penis indicates which of the following? a. Wound infection: Infected circumcision wounds appear swollen with a purulent discharge. b. Ulceration: Yellow exudate following a circumcision is not a manifestation of an ulceration. c. Exposure to urine: Yellow exudate is not a manifestation resulting from the wound being exposed to urine. d. Healing: After 24 hours, yellow exudate usually forms over the glans penis and remains for the next 2 to 3 days. It sometimes forms a crust, which is expected. The nurse should explain that the yellow film the guardians will see is granulation tissue as the circumcision heals. The guardians should not remove this tissue.
