A nurse is planning care for a client who has an infected wound with significant exudate.

The nurse should plan to use which of the following dressings to cover the wound?

Polymeric membrane dressing

Hydrofiber dressing

Hydrogel dressing

Hydrocolloid dressing

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

Choice A rationale: this is a type of non-adherent dressing that can be used for wounds with minimal exudates hence this is not suitable for wounds with significant exudate since it causes maceration and leakage.
Choice B rationale: this is an absorbent dressing that can be used in wounds with moderate-significant exudate since it moistens the wound environment while facilitating autolytic debridement by forming a gel in contact with the exudate.
Choice C rationale: this is a type of hydrating dressing containing water or glycerin-based gel that is suitable for use in wounds with minimal exudate.
Choice D rationale: this is a type of occlusive dressing suitable for wounds with minimal-moderate exudates. It is unsuitable for wounds with significant exudate since it can result in maceration and leakage.
