Which type of skin graft is more comparable in appearance to normal skin?
A) Lace graft
B) Full-thickness graft
C) Slit graft
D) Split-thickness graft
B
Feedback:
Full-thickness grafts are more comparable in appearance to normal skin and can tolerate more stress once they become permanently attached to the burn wound. A slit graft (lace graft) is used when the area available as a donor site is limited, as in clients with extensive burns. In a split-thickness graft, the epidermis and a thin layer of the dermis are harvested from the client's skin.
