Rationale 1: Encouraging fluids will not reduce the inflammation that is occurring in the wound.
Rationale 2: The cardinal signs of an inflammation exist in a wound that is infected and include redness, edema, pain, and warmth. Since the patient's wound is demonstrating redness and edema, the nurse needs to assess for pain and warmth to aid in determining if the wound is inflamed and infected.
Rationale 3: Covering the wound with a sterile dry dressing will not address the potential for infection that exists.
Rationale 4: Simply dressing the wound according to previous order will not address the change that has occurred.
