a. Second intention
b. First intention
c. Third intention
d. Non-intention
ANS: C
Third-intention healing consists of a wound that is cleaned and debrided and packed with moist gauze to promote drainage and granulation. Antibiotic therapy is then implemented. The wound may be an old traumatic or septic wound. The area should not be devascularized, and deep sutures should be avoided. Granulomas can form in this type of wound. Two clean surfaces of granulation tissue are brought together for later closure. A deeper and wider scar usually results.
