Answer to Question 1

C
Cleaning the wound from the least contaminated to most contaminated area prevents contamina-tion of the previously cleaned area.
The nurse should never use the same piece of gauze or swab to cleanse across an incision or wound twice.
The wound should be cleansed in a direction from the least contaminated area, such as from the wound, to the surrounding skin. The wound is cleaned from the centre region to the outer region.
An antiseptic solution is not used to clean a wound, as it may be cytotoxic.

Answer to Question 2

B

Feedback
A Hypertension is not one of the greatest risks of general anaesthesia.
B The greatest risks from general anaesthesia are the side effects of the anaesthetic agents, including cardiovascular depression or irritability, respiratory depression, and liver and kidney damage.
C Oral mucosa damage is not one of the greatest risks of general anaesthesia.
D Tachypnea is not one of the greatest risks of general anaesthesia.
