Answer to Question 1

A
A. Alginates are used for absorption of heavy to moderate wound exudate in superficial and deep wounds.
B. Hydrogels are used for absorption of minimal to moderate exudate in superficial and deep wounds and are not indicated for heavily exuding wounds.
C. Hydrocolloids are used for autolytic debridement of minimal to moderate amount of yellow slough.
D. Transparent film is used for wounds with little or no drainage.

Answer to Question 2

A, B
Once in place, gowns are sterile from the front chest and shoulders to table level and on the sleeves to 2 inches (5 cm) above the elbow. Sterile persons must keep their hands in view, above waist level and below the neckline, and must not turn their back to the sterile field to avoid contamination. When wearing a sterile gown, do not fold arms with hands tucked into the axillary region. This area is not considered sterile once operating room personnel have donned gowns. Perspiration can lead to strike through, or contamination that occurs when moisture permeates a sterile barrier. Unscrubbed persons always stay at least 1 foot away from the sterile field while keeping it in constant view; they touch only unsterile areas.
