Choice D rationale:

Compressing the device in the hand before closing is a correct practice. This helps to maintain the suction in the drain.

Choice C rationale:

Primary intention is a type of wound healing where the wound edges are approximated (brought together) and the wound heals by the process of epithelialization.

Choice D rationale:

Secondary intention is a type of wound healing where the wound is left open and heals by granulation, contraction, and epithelialization.
