When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Here are 2 quotes from the following reference:
http://www.jcn.co.uk/journal.asp?MonthNum=04&YearNum=2002&Ty...
The wound cleansing procedure is an area of wound management, which continues to be carried out due to ritualised practice rather than an evidence based approach. As with all areas of nursing care it is essential to stop and ask, 'What are we doing, why are we doing it?' and, 'What benefit or detrimental result, if any may be gained by our actions?'. The aim of this article is to consider the rationale and methods for cleansing complex wounds.
Wound cleansing has been described as '. . . the application of fluid to aid removal of exudate, debris, slough and contaminants.'

Wound cleansing agents are solutions that are used to cleanse wounds prior to the application of a dressing. As such they should not be confused with debriding agents that are generally applied and left in-situ to facilitate removal of slough or necrotic tissue.
