A. With some brands, dressings can be trimmed to fit wound size, whereas other brands of dressings cannot be cut.
C. Fill wound cavity, but fill one-half to two-thirds full to allow for expansion with absorption
D. Dispose of soiled dressings in waterproof bag. Remove disposable gloves by pulling them inside out, and dispose of them in waterproof bag. Avoid having client see old dressing because the sight of wound drainage may be upsetting to the client.
