Answer to Question 1

C
Hydrogel dressings are available in sheets or in a gel in a tube (amorphous). They contain a high percentage of water and are indicated for wounds that require moisture, either a wound with granulation (maintaining the moist wound environment needed for healing) or a wound that has a high percentage of necrotic tissue.

Answer to Question 2

B
The incidence of depression is very high in patients with chronic pain. They experience many losses, such as their ability to enjoy life, to be in control, to work, to socialize, and to be inde-pendent. Suicidal thoughts are relatively common; therefore, you need to routinely assess for su-icidal tendencies.
