Answer to Question 1

A
A dry dressing may be chosen for management of a wound healing by primary intention with little drainage. The dressing protects the wound from injury, reduces discomfort, and speeds healing. The dry dressing does not interact with wound tissues and causes little wound irritation. A dry dressing is not appropriate for an open wound that is healing by secondary intention.

Answer to Question 2

B, C, D
Laryngospasm with bronchospasm evidenced by sudden, severe shortness of breath is an unexpected and potentially lethal outcome. Call the health care provider or physician immediately, prepare emergency resuscitation equipment, and anticipate a possible cricothyrotomy. Observe respiratory status closely, particularly for facial or neck crepitus. This is an early sign of bronchial perforation. The gag reflex does not normally return until 2 hours after the procedure.
