Disinfection of wounds that need to be bandaged is done with hydrogen peroxide or iodine.
Hydrogen peroxide - Medical-use solution employed for its disinfecting effects and stopping small bleedings resulting from scratched, crushed wounds, stings, or as a consequence of blows followed by the appearance of small-medium skin or mucosal lesions (epistaxis).
Iodine - It is used in disinfecting medical material, antisepsis of skin lesions, treatment of inflammations and mucosal infections.
Saline solution is sterile, but it does not have 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
