Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale: Changing the soiled dressing carefully is important but not specifically associated with caring for a Penrose drain.

Choice B rationale: Pinning the drain to the dressing is not typically done; securing the drain and preventing tension are important.

Choice D rationale: Maintaining the negative pressure of the drain is not applicable to a Penrose drain, which relies on gravity drainage.

A. Inflammatory B. Proliferation C. Remodeling D. Infection

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale: An inflammatory response, including mild fever and malaise, is common during the inflammatory phase of healing, which occurs in the initial postoperative period.

Choice B rationale: Proliferation is the phase of healing characterized by tissue repair and regeneration, not by fever and malaise.

Choice C rationale: Remodeling is the final phase of healing involving tissue maturation and strengthening, not associated with generalized body responses.

Choice D rationale: Infection is a separate complication and may present with more severe symptoms than mild fever and malaise.
