apply a cold pack for 20 - minute intervals.
let the bruise heal without treatment.
question 16
which of the following is a type of open wound involving the skin being torn away?
puncture wound
abrasion
laceration
avulsion

Explanation:

For minor closed wounds like bruises, applying a cold pack for 20 - minute intervals helps reduce swelling and pain. Hydrogen peroxide is not typically used for bruises as it is more for cleaning open wounds. A hot compress is usually used later (not immediately) in some cases but cold is the initial recommended. Letting it heal without treatment is not the best as cold can aid in recovery.

For the open - wound question, an avulsion is when the skin is torn away. A puncture is a small hole (like from a nail), an abrasion is a scrape, and a laceration is a cut.

Answer:

Question 15: Apply a cold pack for 20 - minute intervals.
Question 16: Avulsion.
