After an abdominal resection for colon cancer, Madeline returns to her room with a Jackson-Pratt drain in place. The purpose of the drain is to:
1. Irrigate the incision with a saline solution.
2. Prevent bacterial infection of the incision.
3. Measure the amount of fluid lost after surgery.
4. Prevent accumulation of drainage in the wound.
