Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Montgomery straps are a type of binding layer that can be used to hold dressings in place without the need for adhesive tape, reducing the risk of skin excoriation from frequent dressing changes. Bolsters are typically used to provide support or elevation, and a Minerva jacket and Queen Anne collar are both types of neck braces for cervical spine immobilization, not suitable for preventing skin excoriation in abdominal wounds.
