Answer to Question 1

Moist-to-dry
Moist-to-dry dressings are used for wounds that require debridement.

Answer to Question 2

A
The patient holds the cane on the uninvolved side, 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) to the side of the foot. This offers the most support when the cane is placed on the stronger side of the body. The cane and the weaker leg work together with each step. The cane extends from the greater trochanter to the floor while the cane is held 6 inches (15 cm) from the foot. Allow approximately 15 to 30 degrees of elbow flexion. As weight is taken on by the hand and the affected leg is lifted off the floor, complete extension of the elbow is necessary.
