Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A VAC device uses a technique that involves placing a foam dressing into the wound, covering it with an occlusive dressing, and applying gentle continuous suction. The negative pressure of the suction is applied from the foam dressing to the wound surfaces. The mechanical force removes excess fluids from the wound, stimulates formation of granulation tissue, restores capillary flow, and fosters closure of the wound.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The glucocorticoids are the therapeutic agents used most widely for skin disorders. Their local anti-inflammatory effects are merely palliative, so the medication must be applied until the disease state undergoes a remission or the causative agent is eliminated. It does not have an antifungal, analgesic, or antibacterial effect.
