Question

Packing gauze inside of the wound is a good thing? True False

Answer 1

Answer:

True

Explanation:

This helps stop the amount of blood that can be lost through an injury.

Answer 2

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Healing by secondary intention isn't faster, it just promotes healing from the bottom up, thus avoiding pockets of infection developing in wounds where infection is a greater risk. The gauze (e.g. iodoform gauze) is usually put into an infection (e.g. an lanced boil) and a little bit pulled out each day until the wound heals...I've heard this procedure called a 'poke & pack'.
