Eunice is a 15-year-old female who sustained lacerated wounds on the lower extremities. Which evaluation would be most indicative of readiness to begin selfwound care?
  1. The client watches as the nurse performs care.
  2. The client begins to ask questions about how the wound is managed.
  3. The client turns away every time the nurse cares for the wound.
  4. The client is reading a pamphlet on wound management.
Explanation
Answer: B - When the client begins to ask questions about how the wound is managed, it is an indication to begin self wound care. Asking questions demonstrates a readiness to learn. If the client is not willing to see the wound, it is an indication that she is not ready for wound care. Watching the nurse perform wound care and reading a pamphlet represents an interest but they are a passive activity.
