Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
If drainage accumulates in the wound bed,wound healing is delayed.Drainage is removed by using a closed or an open drain system,even if the amount of drainage is small.A JP drain collects fluid that is in the 100 to 200 mL per 24-hour range;the Hemovac drain accommodates more drainage,usually up to 500 mL in 24 hours.
