A nurse is caring for a patient with a surgical incision. The nurse notes purulent drainage and signs of wound dehiscence. The most appropriate nursing action is to:

  • Reinforce the dressing and document.
  • Cover the wound with a sterile, moist dressing and notify the physician.
  • Pack the wound with dry gauze.
  • Apply adhesive strips to close the wound.
