Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

The client with a stage I pressure ulcer might benefit from a transparent film. The client with a postoperative wound would not be a candidate for a transparent film, due to the risk of removing or applying pressure to the sutures or staples, and would be better suited for an impregnated nonadherent dressing. A clear, absorbent acrylic dressing would be best for the client with a venous stasis ulcer, and polyurethane foams would be best for the wound with a large amount of exudate.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

Eschar is black necrotic tissue. Debridement is the process of removing dead tissue. Alginate is a fluid-absorbing substance that can be placed in highly exudative wounds to absorb the drainage. Purulence is the result of wound infection.
