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 worldwide use of cleaner energy sources could lead to which of the following results?
Leni [432]

The second alternative is correct (B).

The economic matrix in force in the world is based on the burning of fossil fuels, mainly petroleum, which releases amounts of CO2 and other gases in the ozone layer.

The acid rain is due to the exaggerated amount of products from the burning of fossil fuels released into the atmosphere. That is, human activities are mainly responsible for this phenomenon of acid rain.

Thus, the change to a clean energy matrix, using solar, wind and other energy, can result in a decrease in the phenomenon of acid rain.
