Question
### Self-Care Management of Minor Wounds #### Question: Which treatment can be routinely recommended for self-care management of minor wounds such as cuts and abrasions? #### Options: - a. **Antibiotic ointment (Bacitracin)** - b. **Petroleum jelly (Vaseline)** - c. **Hydrocortisone cream (Cortizone)** - d. **Mupirocin cream (Bactroban)** #### Explanation: For the routine management of minor wounds like cuts and abrasions, an antibiotic ointment such as Bacitracin is typically recommended. It helps in preventing infection and promotes healing. Petroleum jelly (Vaseline) may be used to keep the wound moist but does not contain antibacterial properties. Hydrocortisone cream (Cortizone) is generally used to reduce inflammation and itching, not for treating minor wounds. Mupirocin cream (Bactroban) is also an antibacterial ointment but is usually reserved for treating more specific bacterial infections on the skin rather than routine minor wound care. Therefore, the recommended choice for the regular care of minor wounds is: - **a. Antibiotic ointment (Bacitracin)**
