Clara, a burn client, receives a temporary heterograft (pig skin) on some of her burns. These grafts will:
  1. Debride necrotic epithelium
  2. Be sutured in place for better adherence
  3. Relieve pain and promote rapid epithelialization
  4. Frequently be used concurrently with topical antimicrobials
Explanation
Answer - C - The temporary heterografts will relieve pain and promote rapid epithelialization. The graft covers nerve endings, which reduces pain and provides a framework for granulation that promotes effective healing.
