Answer to Question 2
A
Feedback:
If the wound is to heal by first intention, then the wound edges are directly next to each other. Because the space between the wound edges is so narrow, only a small amount of scar tissue forms. If the wound edges are widely separated, leading to a more time-consuming and complex reparative process, then it is described as healing by second intention. With third-intention healing, the wound edges are widely separated and are later brought together with some type of closure material; the wounds may require a drainage device to promote quick healing.
