Question

A nonlayered skin closure is called a/an _______ closure

Answer 1

one layer closure or single layer closure

Answer 2

Single layered closure.

Step-by-step explanation:

The context of the given statement is Wound Repair, which can be simple, intermediate or complex. If we have an simple wound, we won't require any sutures. However, for intermediate and complex wounds, we need sutures.

So, if it's an intermediate wound there would be needed a simple layered closure, which is a single layered closure, or nonlayered skin closure, because the wound is not that deep to demand more than one skin layer closure.

In case of complex wound repair, there's required more than one layered closure, because the wound is too deep.

Therefore, what completes the given statement is "single layered closure".
