Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The wound requires debridement of the necrotic areas; absorption of the yellow-green slough and a hydrocolloid dressing such as DuoDerm would accomplish these goals. Transparent film dressings are used for red wounds or approximated surgical incisions. Dry dressings will not debride the necrotic areas. Nonadherent dressings will not absorb wound drainage or debride the wound.
