Which item is used to cover and protect an injured part of the body?

• A. Abscess
• B. Bandage
• C. Infection
• D. Abrasion

Answer: (B)

Covering and protecting an injured part is the main role of a bandage. A bandage holds a dressing in place, keeps dirt and germs away, and can help absorb drainage or provide gentle compression to support healing. The other terms describe conditions or injuries rather than something used to cover a wound: an abscess is a pus-filled pocket, infection is the process of invading organisms causing illness, and an abrasion is a scraped or worn area of skin. So the item used to cover and protect an injured area is a bandage.
