    A nurse is assessing a client who has an abdominal incision. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Crusting of exudate is typical during wound healing and does not require immediate reporting unless other complications arise. B. Mild swelling is expected, but it should be monitored closely. C. Pink-tinged coloration is a normal part of healing and does not require reporting unless the incision shows signs of infection or other complications. D. Partial separation of the incision may indicate a risk for wound dehiscence, which requires immediate provider attention.
