Evidence boundary

The short question and its four options are retained from OpenStax Medical-Surgical Nursing, Chapter 28 Review Question 6. All four selections are supported by the same book, section 28.2, Table 28.3. An accessible separate official answer key for Chapter 28 was not verified, so the answer is a reasoned classification supported by the text, not a claimed quotation of a teacher key. No wound photograph, patient examination, or treatment decision is required.
