An LVN is performing a dressing change on a patient with a draining abdominal wound. The patient asks why the nurse is wearing a mask and goggles. The BEST response is:
-
A
'These are required for all wound care procedures regardless of drainage.'
-
B
'I wear these to protect myself from splashing wound drainage that could carry infection.'
-
C
'Hospital policy requires this for all patient interactions.'
-
D
'I wear these because your wound smells and I want to reduce exposure.'
