Answer to Question 1

3
Mechanical debridement makes use of gauze dressing to remove necrotic or devitalized tissue from wounds. Autolytic debridement makes use of the normal phagocytic action of the macrophages and leukocytes present in the wound. Enzymatic debridement is accomplished by using a chemical debriding agent. Sharp debridement is cutting away necrotic tissue from the wound.

Answer to Question 2

3
Macular degeneration is a deterioration of part of the retina, causing loss of central vision but not affecting peripheral vision. The loss of central vision is not typically seen in a detached retina, nystagmus, or conjunctivitis.
