Answer to Question 1

A, C, D
Wet-to-dry dressings and hydrotherapy (e.g., whirlpool and pulsed lavage) are nonselective forms of debridement, which means that healthy tissue as well as devitalized tissue can be removed with their use. Sharp debridement is a selective form of debridement. With sharp debridement, only devitalized tissue is removed.

Answer to Question 2

D
The classification changes from preoperative to intraoperative when the patient enters the operating room. The patient remains a preoperative patient after receiving the preoperative medication until he enters the operating room. The patient remains a preoperative patient while in the holding area and is still considered preoperative when leaving the holding areauntil entering the operating room.
