Question 3 of 5
The client is scheduled for application of a cadaver homograph to a burn on the forearm. Which comment by the client demonstrates an accurate understanding of this procedure?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A cadaver skin graft is a type of temporary graft, also called a biological dressing, and it is used to protect the damaged skin and promote healing and epithelialization. A cadaver skin graft does not use the client's own skin, so there is no donor site. There is a risk of transmitting blood-borne infections with cadaver grafts. The graft is not permanent, so no further donor site selection is needed.
