مريض بعد العملية بخمسة أيام كح وقال: "حسيت شي انفتح"، والممرضة شافت أمعاء طالعة من الجرح. ما أول إجراء؟

On post-operative day 5 a client coughs, says “something popped”, and the nurse sees bowel protruding from the incision. What is the first action?

1. Gently push the bowel back into the abdomen
2. Cover it with dry gauze and tape
3. Cover it with sterile gauze moistened with normal saline
4. Sit the client upright at 90 degrees

Answer: C) Cover it with sterile gauze moistened with normal saline. Evisceration is an emergency: cover with sterile saline-moistened gauze to prevent drying, position low Fowler’s with knees flexed, and notify the surgeon at once.
