Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Dry sterile dressings are mostly used for clean wounds, such as surgical incisions, that heal by primary intention to protect it from contamination. Gel-foam packing is done for a wound with a draining sinus tract. A transparent dressing is used to prevent skin breakdown owing to friction. Sterile padding is used to prevent pressure ulcers.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The use of tampons is dangerous because the woman may forget that a tampon is in place because she has no sensation. The use of birth control pills is not recommended because they can lead to thrombus formation, particularly if the client is not exercising or is immobile. Menses usually resume within 3 months following the injury. Labor and childbirth may be dangerous. The woman may not be aware of the onset of labor. The likelihood of a cesarean birth is increased because the woman may not be able to assist with the delivery and the uterus may not have adequate muscle tone. In addition, labor and delivery may serve as a trigger for autonomic dysreflexia.
