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.

Answer:

Variable Ratio  Schedule

Explanation:

First, there are two different types of reinforcement:

  • Positive
  • Negative

The positive reinforcement applies a stimulus to increase the frequency of the desirable variable.

The negative reinforcement removes a stimulus to increase the frequency of the desirable variable.

However, the positive reinforcement divides itself in different types:

  • Continuous
  • Partial

A continuous reinforcement schedule gives us a reinforcement every time we engaged in the desired conduct.

On the other side, the partial reinforcement schedule  also divides itself in

  • Ratio
  • Interval

And these divide themselves in fixed or variable.

  • The fixed ratio schedule gives a reinforcement after a <u>fixed number</u> of desired responses.
  • The variable ratio schedule gives a reinforcement after a <u>changing</u> <u>number</u> of desired responses.

  • The fixed interval schedule gives a reinforcement after a <u>constant amount of time.</u>
  • The variable interval schedule gives a reinforcement after a <u>variable amount of time.</u>

In the example, the rats get a pellet of food, so we're talking about a reinforcement. They <u>don't get a reward EVERY TIME</u> they press the bar so we are not talking about a continuous reinforcement but a partial reinforcement. Since the rats press the bar and get a reward after certain <u>NUMBER</u> of times, we're talking about a ratio schedule. Finally, the number of times they need to press the bar to get a reward <u>VARIES</u> from trial to trial so this is a Variable Ratio Schedule.
