Hi, you haven't provided any options for the given question. Though, I am still providing you with a general answer regarding the protective equipments used by a nurse for the mentioned case.

Answer:

In the given case, the nurse needs to wear a gown and gloves. The gloves and gowns are needed if the nurse is expecting to come in contact with the soiled components such as those with drainage of the wound, or is looking after an individual who is suffering diarrhea or a client who has a colostomy or ileostomy.

In the given case, masks are not needed unless and until airborne or droplet precautions are essential. In spite of the quantity of drainage taking place from the wound, the nurse should use gloves and gowns as the personal protective equipment.
