Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
A deep wound is irrigated with a 30- to 50-mL piston syringe with an 18-gauge angiocath. Unlike the 1 pound per square inch (psi) of pressure or less that is delivered by a standard bulb syringe, the use of a 30- to 50-mL syringe and 18-gauge catheter has been shown to achieve an irrigation force that falls within the recommended 4 to 15 psi

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Proper drying prevents further skin breakdown from moisture. Patting (rather than rubbing) prevents healthy tissue from being removed and reduces trauma to the wound. The type of dressing will determine how it lays in the wound and whether or not it is occlusive. The drying does not prevent infection.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
