Which of the following is not a primary bandage layer?
  1. Adherent
  2. Hypertonic
  3. Nonadherent semiocclusive
  4. Nonocclusive elastic
Explanation
Answer: D - Nonocclusive elastic bandage or tape is not a primary bandage layer. The primary layer, or that which is found in direct contact with the wound, helps to keep the wound surface moist. The moisture helps to enhance the natural healing phases of the wound and maintains a somewhat controlled environment free of any additional foreign matter to complicate the healing process.
