Final Answer :
A,C,D
Explanation :
Wet-to-dry dressings and hydrotherapy (e.g.,whirlpool and pulsed lavage)are nonselective forms of debridement,which means that healthy tissue as well as devitalized tissue can be removed with their use.Sharp debridement is a selective form of debridement.With sharp debridement,only devitalized tissue is removed.
