C
The patient should be placed on a turn schedule to relieve the pressure. If pressure is not relieved, the wound will worsen. A stage I wound is not open, so a dressing is not warranted. Enzymatic debridement is used to remove slough or eschar in an open wound. A transparent film dressing would protect the area. However, the primary treatment is to relieve the source of pressure.
