Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Occlusive dressings, such as Acuderm, are not adherent to the wound site. They provide a moist wound surface and insulate the wound. The dressing does not have vitamin C or antiseptic capabilities. Acuderm protects against friction.

Answer to Question 2

ANS:
2 mL
Desired/available  volume = milliliters per dose
100 mcg/50 mcg  1 mL = 2 mL/dose
