B) Lymph +RBC+dead bacteria
C) Dead WBC +bacteria + tissue debris
D) Lymph + dead leukocytes.

Explanation

Solution

The term which is used to describe the discharge that contains both blood and a clear liquid is serosanguineous.

Complete answer:
Generally most of the physical wounds produce some drainage. Serosanguineous is a common type of wound discharge which typically appears as the wound is trying to heal and may have a pink color. It also appears as a clear liquid with red blood. The difference in the appearance depends on how much-clotted blood is combined with the serum. It is mainly a sign of healing.
If the wound gives discharges it may be due to damaged capillaries and it is very common in wounds. Other drainages may appear on the wound as it heals. Drainages show signs of healing and sometimes signs of infection. The initial drainage occurs when the wound is in the first stage of healing. Sanguineous drainage occurs later in the wound’s healing process and indicates the sign of some damage to the tissues. The latter discharge happens with larger wounds that require bandage that have to be changed regularly. Dressing bandage may result in reopening of the bandage causing sanguineous drainage.
Serous drainage is mostly clear or sometimes yellow. It can be seen in venous ulceration. Serous is one of the normal wound drainages.
Seropurulent drainage is that which turns cloudy, yellow, or tan and needs treatment changes.
Purulent drainage is not a characteristic feature of a healthy wound. The drainage becomes thick, and turns yellow, and gives the sign that infection is present. This drainage contains white blood cells, dead bacteria, wound debris, and inflammatory cells.

So the correct answer for the above question is option (C) Dead WBC +bacteria + tissue debris.

Note: When determining the progress of a wound, medical professionals examine the type of wound, drainage, clarity, thickness and colour of the wound.
