Answer:

Option (d).

Explanation:

Hemovac drain may be defined as the drain used to remove the fluids produced in the patients after surgery. This device is circular connected with the tube.

Hemovac needs the compress to perform the suction. The fully expanded hemovac do not allow any suction, this causes the malfunctioning of the drain. The abdominal surgery patient produces large amount of abdominal drainage. The incisional content is not drained by NG tube. Dry drainage on the dressing is not related to hemovac drainage.

Thus, the correct answer is option (d).

When you say "hands" does that mean 12 on each hand? or 12 for both hands. If it is 12 for each then I would say it is estimated that he has 6.48 billion toes on each foot. hope this helps.
