Question

a postoperative client will need to perform daily dressing changes after discharge. which outcome response best demonstrates the clients readiness to manage wound care after discharge? a demonstrating the wound care procedure correctly. b asking relevant questions regarding the dressing change. c stating the ability to complete the wound care regimen. d showing all the necessary supplies for wound care.

Explanation:

To determine readiness for post-discharge wound care, we need evidence that the client can successfully perform the task.

• Option B shows engagement but not demonstrated ability.
• Option C is a verbal statement, not proof of hands-on capability.
• Option D confirms supply access but not procedural skill.
• Option A provides direct, observable proof that the client can correctly complete the wound care procedure, which is the strongest indicator of readiness.

Answer:

A. Demonstrating the wound care procedure correctly.
