RN_TOBE, In the last option, is it word or wound? for me that supposed to be the answer but the last word "word" makes that option wrong unless that is a typographical error, because "Jackson-Pratt drain are used to drain fluid from the wound to prevent the fluid from acumulating in wound and aid wound the to heal fast. check it out in the book.
