Your patient is a 19-year-old man who received a penetrating knife wound to his chest. On your arrival, he is lying supine with a visible chest wound that is bleeding slightly. You can hear the sucking sound of air moving in and out of the wound. This wound is best managed with:

▸ a sterile, wet dressing held in place with an elastic bandage.

▸ a dry dressing covered by an adherent bandage.

▸ an occlusive bandage sealed on three sides and open on the fourth side.

▸ a bulky dressing held in place with adhesive strips.
