Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : A,B,E

Choice A rationale: partial-thickness burns are usually characterized by the formation of blisters as a result of increased capillary permeability resulting in edema formation separating the epidermis from the dermis.
Choice B rationale: wound blanching with pressure is expected in partial-thickness burns due to compromised blood circulation.
Choice C rationale: This is not a typical finding in a partial-thickness burn.
Choice D rationale: this is incorrect since partial-thickness burns involve damage to the epidermis.

A. Film dressing B. Foam dressing C. Alginate dressing D. Hydrofiber dressing

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale: A superficial wound with no exudate (fluid drainage) can benefit from a film dressing. Film dressings are transparent, adhesive, and provide a protective barrier while allowing visualization of the wound. They are suitable for wounds with minimal or no drainage.
Choice B rationale: Foam dressings are often used for wounds with moderate to heavy exudate. They provide absorption and insulation but may not be the best choice for a wound with no exudate.
Choice C rationale: Alginate dressings are absorbent and suitable for wounds with moderate to heavy exudate. They may not be necessary for a superficial wound with no drainage.
Choice D rationale: Hydrofiber dressings are absorbent and can handle moderate to heavy exudate. Like alginate dressings, they may not be the most appropriate choice for a wound with no exudate.
