All of the options (vigorous irrigation, cleansing while changing dressing, and removal of foreign matter) are appropriate clinical interventions to facilitate optimal wound healing. Vigorous irrigation helps to remove any debris or contaminants, cleansing while changing dressing helps to keep the wound clean and reduce the risk of infection, and removal of foreign matter (such as dirt or gravel) reduces the risk of inflammation or infection. It is important to note that the intensity of irrigation should be balanced, as too much pressure can damage the tissue and impede healing.
