Question 1 of 5
Type of healing when scars are minimal due to careful surgical incision and good healing
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: First intention healing (A) results in minimal scarring due to careful surgical incision, immediate closure, and optimal healing conditions. Edges are approximated with sutures, reducing granulation and scar tissue. Second intention (B) involves open wounds healing by granulation, often leaving larger scars. Third intention (C) delays closure for infected wounds, increasing scarring. Fourth intention (D) isn't valid. First intention's precision and lack of complications like infection or tension minimize scar formation, aligning with the description and making A the correct choice.
