Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Partial-thickness burns require dbridement of devitalized tissue to promote healing. The procedure is painful and requires analgesia and sedation before the procedure. Preventing bleeding, maintaining the airway, and restoring fluid balance are not goals associated with dbridement.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The water acts to loosen and remove sloughing tissue, exudate, and topical medications. Increasing peripheral blood flow, providing pain relief, and destroying bacteria on the skin may be secondary benefits to hydrotherapy, but the primary purpose is for dbridement.
