Read the case study and then answer the questions. Kay is a 51-year-old who is overweight, active, addicted to sweets, and does not sleep well. Kay is also a diabetic and has hypertension. Kay works from home and frequently takes her dogs on walks. Kay was playing ball with the dogs when she fell into the bushes. Upon inspection, she noticed a deep cut on the back of her leg. Unsure of the degree of injury, Kay went to urgent care to have it looked at. The healthcare provider recommended stitches due to the depth and thought the cut would heal faster. Kay returns home and when she wakes the next morning her knee area is red, swollen, warm to the touch, and the wound is draining. Kay goes back to the clinic where they remove three of the seven stitches to allow the wound to drain and instruct her to go to the emergency room if the redness spreads. Kay returns home and her husband notices a couple of hours later that the redness has spread down Kay’s leg and she is complaining that the pain is severe. Kay’s husband drives her to the emergency room for further evaluation. Question 1 / 4 Note: You will not have another attempt on this question if you navigate away.
