Wound breakdown after healing continues to be an issue with burn victims. Research into __________would help diminish this problem
1. Techniques to increase tensile strength
2. Techniques to decrease wound infection
3. Methods to increase client compliance
4. Methods to increase family participation
Techniques to increase tensile strength.
Rationale: Wound breakdown is related to the tensile strength of the scar. Techniques to increase tensile strength would decrease wound breakdown. Techniques to decrease wound infection would not increase tensile strength of healed wounds. Client compliance and family participation have no direct effect on wound strength.
