Whenever a nurse is preparing a client with a draining vertical incision for ambulation, the area where the nurse should apply the thickest portion of a dressing is at the base of the wound.

<h3>What is vertical incision?</h3>

During an abdominal hysterectomy, the surgeon might makes a vertical incision in your lower abdomen. The vertical incision gives the surgeon greater access to your pelvis while the horizontal incision follows your skin's natural lines and usually leaving a thinner scar.

When a client is ambulating, the gravity causes the drainage to flow downward. So, the covering of the base of the wound with extra dressing will contain the drainage. Also, the nurse should apply the thickest portion of the dressing at the top, in the middle or over the total wound won't contain the drainage.

In conclusion, whenever a nurse is preparing a client with a draining vertical incision for ambulation, the area where the nurse should apply the thickest portion of a dressing is at the base of the wound.

The Easter Lillie's bring warm air from the Atlantic Ocean to Western Europe. This creates a fairly mild, wet climate. True or f
Zanzabum

Climate elements largely depend on the variation of heating at different latitudes and seasons. The amount of heating the earth depends on the angle under which the sun rays fall to the ground. Also, the length of the day in individual latitudes depends on the angle of the sun's rays. During the summer, the earth is much warmer than water, while in winter the water is warmer than the earth. This is because the water accumulates energy during the summer, which it releases during the winter. What the climate will be, depends on the location of individual points on the ground, whether they are within the mainland or are closer to the coast. The oceans carry a higher amount of moisture than earth, so they can be a source of humid climate. So that we can say, Easter Lillies brings a fairly mild, humid climate in Western Europe. Wet, because it carries the atmospheric moisture of the ocean, and fairly mild because, during winter, it heats the earth with its accumulated heat. During the summer, this climate cools the earth because the water is colder, so the climate is still mild.

This is true.
