An OTR is working with a client in a home health setting who has a wound on the posterior aspect of the proximal forearm. The wound is 3 cm (1.81 inches) in diameter and is being treated by the wound care nurse with a transparent film dressing. The wound is dry, and the margins are pink and flat. What is the PRIMARY reason for using a transparent film dressing on this client’s wound? To provide hydration to the wound while offering pain relief with a hydrogel sheet To create a moist healing environment while absorbing discharge from the wound To keep bacteria out of the wound while promoting autolytic debridement
