The client is scheduled to have a xenograft to a left lower-leg burn. The client asks the nurse, 'What is a xenograft?' Which statement by the nurse would be the best response?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
A xenograft uses animal skin (e.g., porcine) for temporary burn coverage. Autografts use the patientÔÇÖs skin, allografts use donor human skin, and deferring to the doctor avoids education.
