The nurse is caring for a client who is having difficulty understanding the wound care dressing changes that need to be completed in the home after discharge. The client asks the nurse to demonstrate the procedure again and allow the client's spouse to perform the procedure while the nurse watches. Which is the most likely outcome of this assertive request by the client?
A) Less compassionate care for the client due to the spouse's irritation by the request.
B) A guarantee that the spouse will change the dressings correctly.
C) A slightly increased chance that the wound will become infected due to exposure during dressing changes.
D) A greater likelihood that the wound will heal appropriately.

D
My reasoning: The client used assertive communication to ensure that the dressing changes would be performed correctly, which will likely result in appropriate healing of the client's wound. No information is provided about the spouse's response to the request. There is no guarantee that the spouse will always perform the task correctly as humans make mistakes. Infection of a wound that is dressed correctly is not the likely result of the care.
