Answer to Question 1

D
Teach the patient to replace the catheter every 2 to 4 weeks, or when it becomes cracked or brittle, has any buildup of sediment, or loses its form.

Answer to Question 2

D
You will typically change an entire NPWT dressing and wound filler every 48 hours or 3 times per week. The schedule for changing NPWT dressings varies and is based on the type and condition of the wound. An infected wound may need a dressing change every 24 hours, whereas a clean wound can be changed 3 times a week.

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved.
