Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
A Penrose drain is an open system that lacks a collection device. Jackson-Pratt drains, Hemovacs, and negative pressure dressings all utilize a suction device or collection reservoir and are considered to be closed systems.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Damage to the subcutaneous tissue indicates a stage III ulcer. Extensive destruction associated with full-thickness skin loss is categorized as a stage IV pressure ulcer. A stage I ulcer is a defined area of persistent redness in lightly pigmented skin and a persistent red, blue, or purple hue in darker pigmented skin. A stage II pressure ulcer is superficial and may present as a blister or abrasion.
