Explanation

Granulation tissue is a key component of the healing process for wounds and appears as new connective tissue and microscopic blood vessels that form on the surfaces of a wound during the healing process. It typically appears red or pink, indicating the presence of new blood vessels (capillaries). It has a moist, bumpy, or grainy texture. The tissue might look uneven or pebbled. It progressively covers the wound bed, starting from the edges and moving toward the center, eventually filling the wound cavity.

A. Keep the collection bag below the level of the bladder. B. Irrigate the catheter routinely with sterile water every other day. C. Use an antiseptic to cleanse the periurethral area twice each day. D. Disconnect the catheter from the drainage tubing to collect urine specimens.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Keep the collection bag below the level of the bladder. This prevents backflow of urine, which can introduce bacteria into the bladder and cause infection.
B. Irrigate the catheter routinely with sterile water every other day. Routine irrigation is not recommended as it can introduce pathogens and increase the risk of infection.
C. Use an antiseptic to cleanse the periurethral area twice each day. Cleansing with soap and water is recommended; frequent antiseptic use can irritate the skin and is not necessary.
D. Disconnect the catheter from the drainage tubing to collect urine specimens. Disconnecting the catheter can introduce bacteria and increase the risk of infection. Specimens should be collected using a sterile technique without disconnecting the system.
