A 68-year-old trauma victim is in your medical unit recovering from a surgery she had 3 days ago to put stabilizing rods in both fractured femurs. With one exception, all these signs and symptoms will alert you to the fact that she is possibly developing fat embolism syndrome (FES).

Respuesta :

Answer:

D. Fever and purulent drainage from the surgical sites

Explanation:

When it comes to fever, it's not unusual for it to occur in the first 48 hours after surgery, as it's a complex process and it is tough on everyone's body.

Purulent drainage is not very normal to happen when a wound is healing. It reminds of a milky discharge, it's very thick and sometimes it even changes colors, from yellow through green to dark brown. It's not normal and it indicates that some kind of an infection is occurring.
