Question 1 of 5
In a clinical setting, a patient with a chronic wound is scheduled for debridement. Which of the following is the primary purpose of wound debridement?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B:
To remove necrotic tissue to promote healing. Debridement is the process of removing dead, damaged, or infected tissue from a wound to facilitate healing by allowing healthy tissue to grow. This helps reduce the risk of infection, promotes granulation tissue formation, and ultimately accelerates wound closure.
Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because increasing blood flow, applying antibiotics, or preventing scar formation are not the primary purposes of debridement. The main goal of debridement is to create a clean wound bed that supports optimal healing conditions.
