Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Full-thickness skin grafts include the epidermis, dermis, and occasionally subcutaneous fat. They inhibit wound contraction better than split-thickness grafts and are usually used on the face, neck, hands, elbows, axillae, knees, and feet.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
When using a freehand knife dermatome, the depth of the cut is determined by the setting on the blade and can be adjusted by turning screws on the handle. This type of dermatome can be stabilized for precision cutting.
