The nurse is using wet-to-dry dressing changes to assist in debridement of an open abdominal wound and knows that which step must be performed to ensure that the newly granulated tissue in the wound will not be injured during the dressing changes?

▸ Place a heat lamp over the dressing for 15 minutes after the dressing change to prevent chilling the client with the cool dressings.

▸ Rewet the dressings with normal saline every 15 minutes to ensure adequate debridement.

▸ Soak the dressing with normal saline prior to removal of the packed gauze to prevent damage to the granulating tissue.

▸ Premedicate the client 1 hour before the dressing change to improve client cooperation during the dressing change.
