Answer to Question 1

A
Alginates are used for absorption of heavy to moderate wound exudate. Hydrogels are used for dry wounds to wounds with minimal exudate. Hydrocolloids are used to absorb minimal to moderate exudate. Transparent film has no absorption quality.

Answer to Question 2

C
The ideal method to administer PN over an extended period is through a central venous catheter, which allows for higher concentration of nutrients.
