Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The presence of 100% granulated tissue in the wound bed indicates that the injury is healing and progressing towards recovery. It is not necessary for the ulcer to completely heal or for there to be a minimal amount of drainage for the care to be considered effective. The patient's pain level can be subjective and may not always reflect the effectiveness of the care provided.
