Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A) Purulent drainage is indicative of pus, which is associated with infection and is typically thick and yellow, green, or brown.
B) Serous drainage is clear, thin, and watery, and is generally considered normal in the early stages of healing.
C) Sanguineous drainage, which is the correct answer, refers to drainage that contains or is mixed with blood, making it appear blood-tinged, and is expected in a fresh incision or one that is healing by secondary intention.
D) Hyperemia is not a type of drainage but a term that describes increased blood flow to an area of the body, resulting in redness. Therefore, the nurse should document the finding as sanguineous, which accurately describes blood-tinged drainage.
