How can the nurse practitioner decrease the “sting” of local anesthesia for laceration repair ? Select all that apply

True or False. Square knots is the fundamental knot for suturing.

A 20 year old female comes to you clinic with a left knee laceration after a fall. After irrigating the wound, the nurse practitioner determines that the laceration requires suturing.  After satisfactorily placing the suture on the patient’s laceration, what is the nurse practitioner’s next step? 

 True or False. Non-absorbable sutures are best for skin wound closures.
