Questions and Correct
Answers | New Update
what is primary intention healing? - ANSWER ✔✔wound margins are
nearly approximated (ex; surgical incision, or paper cut)
processes associated w/ primary healing? - ANSWER ✔✔1.
initial/inflammatory phase
2. granulation/proliferative phase
3. maturation phase & scar contraction
what is secondary intention healing? - ANSWER ✔✔wounds w/ *wide
or ireg* wound margins that can't be approximated (ex; venous ulcers)
,diff b/w primary & secondary intention healing? - ANSWER ✔✔-
Inflammatory reaction is greater in secondary > primary. Creates more
debris cells & exudate.
- larger defect in wound edges
what is tertiary intention healing? - ANSWER ✔✔Also known as
*delayed primary intention*.
Initially left open for infection to resolve, or exudate to drain.
Then closed with sutures, staples, or adhesive skin closures once
edema/infection is resolved.
factors that delay wound healing? - ANSWER ✔✔- nutrition
deficiencies
- inadequate blood supply
- smoking
- corticosteroid drugs
- infection
- age
- obesity
- DM
, - mechanical friction on wound
- excessive moisture
adhesion complication - ANSWER ✔✔bands of scar tissue that form
b/w or around organs
contracture complication - ANSWER ✔✔shortening of muscle or scar
tissue --> deformity or contraction
dehiscence complication - ANSWER ✔✔separation or disruption of
previously joined wound edges
evisceration complication - ANSWER ✔✔wound edges separate to
the *extend that intestines protrude through wound*
**critical finding**
excess granulation tissue complication - ANSWER ✔✔excess
granulation tissue may protrude *above surface of healing wound*
fistula formation complication - ANSWER ✔✔abnormal passage that
forms b/w organs, or organ & outside of body.
hemmorhage - ANSWER ✔✔abnormal internal/external blood loss
