Answer 1

The outcome that is correctly written is option A) Abdominal incision will show no signs of infection.

Step-by-step explanation:

The outcome that is correctly written is option A) Abdominal incision will show no signs of infection.

This outcome is clear, specific, and measurable. It states what will be observed, which is the absence of infection signs in the abdominal incision. This outcome can be evaluated objectively.

On the other hand, options B, C, and D are either vague, subjective, or not focused on the desired outcome.
