Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D
In a full-thickness wound, the phases include hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and maturation.

Answer to Question 2

C
Do not force a catheter into a wound because this will cause tissue damage. Using a 19-gauge angiocatheter and a 35-cc syringe is acceptable. If you need to irrigate a deep wound with a small opening, use a soft catheter and insert it 1.3 cm to avoid touching the fragile inner wall of the wound.
