ANS: C
Proper drying prevents further skin breakdown from moisture. Patting (rather than rubbing) prevents healthy tissue from being removed and reduces trauma to the wound. The type of dressing will determine how it lays in the wound and whether or not it is occlusive. The drying does not prevent infection.
