Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since the client has an open draining sore, a culture and sensitivity test would be ordered to identify the specific microorganism causing the infection and determine which antibiotics would be most effective in treating it. The other options (platelet count, sputum culture, and urinalysis) would not be relevant to this particular situation.
