Answer to Question 1

B
If the lens edges stick together, place the lens in the palm and soak thoroughly in saline; gently roll the lens back and forth with the index finger. If this is unsuccessful in restoring the shape of the lens, placing the lens in cleansing solution would be the next step. Brisk rubbing may damage the lens. Prying the lens apart could damage it.

Answer to Question 2

C
Dry dressings are used for wound healing by primary intention with little drainage. These dressings protect the wound from injury, prevent the introduction of bacteria, reduce discomfort, and speed healing. The primary purpose of moist-to-dry dressings is to mechanically debride a wound. Hydrocolloid dressings provide a moist environment for wound healing while facilitating softening and subsequent removal of wound debris. Hydrogel dressings (e.g., Curasol, IntraSite Gel, Vigilon) have a high moisture content (95), causing them to swell and retain fluid. They are useful over clean, moist, or macerated tissues.
