Which factor is facilitated by bandaging a wound, helps to prevent carbon dioxide loss, and increases oxygen dissociation at the wound site?
  1. Bandaging creates a moist environment around the wound
  2. Bandaging creates a dry environment around the wound.
  3. Bandaging keeps wound free of debris.
  4. Bandaging promotes an acidic environment.
Explanation
Answer: D - Bandaging a wound promotes an acidic environment, which helps to prevent carbon dioxide loss and increase oxygen dissociation at the wound site. These factors, combined with the absorption of bacteria-created ammonia, maintaining moisture at the site, and keeping the wound warm, enhance the natural healing phases of the body. Nonadherent, moist wound care is the standard practice to best facilitate healing.
