A nurse is caring for a group of clients on a surgical unit. Which of the following images should the nurse identify as evisceration?
Explanation & Rationale
A. The first image depicts a finger injury with partial nail and tissue trauma, which represents a localized hand wound but does not involve internal organs. This is not evisceration. B. The second image shows abdominal organs protruding through a surgical incision, which is the defining feature of evisceration. Evisceration is a surgical emergency requiring immediate intervention to protect the exposed organs and prevent infection.
