A client's wound is being debrided by letting a wet-to-dry dressing that is packed into the wound dry. This type of debridement is called:
 
  1. autolytic debridement.
  2. enzymatic debridement.
  3. mechanical debridement.
  4. sharp debridement.

Question 2

A client is experiencing a loss of central vision but not a loss of peripheral vision. The nurse realizes the client should be evaluated for:
 
  1. detached retina syndrome.
  2. nystagmus.
  3. macular degeneration.
  4. conjunctivitis.

Answer to Question 1

3
Mechanical debridement makes use of gauze dressing to remove necrotic or devitalized tissue from wounds. Autolytic debridement makes use of the normal phagocytic action of the macrophages and leukocytes present in the wound. Enzymatic debridement is accomplished by using a chemical debriding agent. Sharp debridement is cutting away necrotic tissue from the wound.

Answer to Question 2

3
Macular degeneration is a deterioration of part of the retina, causing loss of central vision but not affecting peripheral vision. The loss of central vision is not typically seen in a detached retina, nystagmus, or conjunctivitis.
