Correct Answer :

Option A

(B), (C), (D), (A)

Solution :

The correct option is (B), (C), (D), (A).

To manage an abrasion (a scrape or graze on the skin) properly, a systematic first-aid approach must be followed to prevent infection and promote healing:
1. (B) Use sterilized gauze to wipe the dirt and clean the affected area: The immediate first step is to clean the wound. Removing dirt and foreign particles using sterilized gauze and clean water reduces the risk of bacterial infection.
2. (C) Application of ointment: Once the wound is cleaned and dried gently, applying an antiseptic or antibiotic ointment helps keep the area moist and prevents bacterial growth.
3. (D) Cover the injured part: After applying the ointment, cover the abrasion with a sterile bandage or dressing. This protects the open wound from environmental contaminants, friction, and further injury.
4. (A) Visit a doctor: Finally, if the abrasion is deep, highly contaminated, shows signs of infection (such as redness, swelling, or pus), or if the person's tetanus vaccination is not up to date, visiting a doctor is necessary for professional medical evaluation.

Therefore, the logical and correct chronological sequence for the management of an abrasion is (B) ⇒ (C) ⇒ (D) ⇒ (A).
