Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Gauze dressing is ideal for covering fresh wounds because of its highly absorbent nature. Gauze is applied to fresh wounds that are likely to bleed or wounds that exude drainage. The nurse uses a hydrocolloid dressing when caring for a client with superficial burn wounds as hydrocolloid dressings are self-adhesive, opaque, air- and water-occlusive wound coverings that keep wounds moist. Transparent dressing allows the nurse to assess a wound without removing the dressing; transparent dressings are especially used for peripheral and IV insertion sites. A bandage is a strip or roll of cloth wrapped around a body part to help support the area around the wound.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Rickettsiae that resemble bacteria cause Lyme disease. Intermediate life forms such as fleas, ticks, lice, or mites transmit rickettsial diseases to humans. Fungi include yeasts and molds, which cause infections in the skin, mucous membranes, hair, and nails. Examples of fungal infections include ringworm, athlete's foot, and vaginal yeast infection. Protozoans are single-celled animals classified according to their ability to move. Mycoplasmas infect the surface linings of the respiratory, genitourinary, and gastrointestinal tracts. Fungi, protozoans, and mycoplasmas do not cause Lyme disease.
