The client with a venous stasis ulcer is being treated with the debriding agent dextranomer (Debrisan), which are highly porous beads. The nurse notes the beads are a grayish-yellow color. Which intervention should the nurse implement?
1. Flush the beads with normal saline and apply a new layer of beads.
2. Take no intervention because this is the normal color of the beads.
3. Apply a new layer of beads without removing the grayish-yellow beads.
4. Prepare the client for surgical debridement of the wound.
