Which dressing is best if available?\n|type=\"()\"}\n- Saline-soaked gauze\n|| ''Provides moisture but insufficient absorbency.''\n+ Foam dressing\n|| '''Foams absorb well and reduce frequency of changes.'''\n- Hydrocolloid\n|| ''Hydrocolloids may seal but not handle moderate drainage.''\n- Dry gauze only\n|| ''Leads to saturation and maceration.''\n\n{A rural nurse only has sterile gauze. The wound is highly exudative. What is the best strategy?\n|type=\"()\"}\n+ Use layered gauze and increase change frequency\n|| '''Layered gauze is the best adaptation.'''\n- Delay care until foam dressings are supplied\n|| ''Delaying care is unsafe.''\n- Apply hydrocolloid to seal the wound\n|| ''Hydrocolloids fail with heavy exudate.''\n- Leave wound uncovered to dry\n|| ''Exposure risks infection.'' </quiz>\n\n{{Page data\n| part-of = Wound Management - ECSACONM\n| sdg = SDG03 Good health and well-being\n| organizations = ECSACONM, SELF\n| keywords = surgery, health\n}}"}
