The nurse is caring for a postcholecystectomy client who had the T-tube removed this AM.
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Dark, greenish-yellow drainage is expected bile after T-tube removal. Replacing the saturated dressing with a more absorbent one keeps the site clean and dry, preventing infection. Cultures are unnecessary without infection signs, dehiscence is unlikely, and reinforcing risks infection.
