Disinfection of wounds that need to be bandaged is done with hydrogen peroxide or iodine.
Hydrogen peroxide - Medical-use solution used for its disinfecting effects and for stopping minor bleedings following scratched, crushed wounds, stings, or as a consequence of blows followed by the appearance of small-medium skin or mucous membrane lesions (epistaxis).
Iodine - It is used in the disinfection of medical material, antisepsis of skin lesions, treatment of inflammations and infections of mucous membranes.
Physiological serum is sterile, but it has no antiseptic or disinfectant properties.
Drinking water, besides not having antiseptic or disinfectant properties, may contain impurities or microorganisms that must not reach the wound.
The correct answer is: A
