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.
