WEBWOC WND580 CERTIFICATION EXAM 2026/2027
– VERIFIED QUESTIONS WITH ACCURATE DETAILED
ANSWERS.
◎ A patient has an acute full-thickness wound due to trauma. What order of wound
healing would occur with this wound?
a. Inflammatory, hemostasis, granulation tissue formation, re-epithelialization
b. Re-epithelialization, granulation tissue formation, hemostasis, remodeling
c. Hemostasis, resurfacing, scar formation, remodeling
d. Hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation and maturation. ANSWER:- d. Hemostasis,
inflammation, proliferation and maturation
◎ Which statement accurately describes the characteristic and implication of necrotic
tissue in a wound bed?
a. Necrosis of muscle tissue typically results in the formation of stringy, yellow slough.
b. Consistency refers to the cohesiveness of the debris; typically more advanced
necrosis is thin and wet.
c. Eschar usually is black, brown or gray and associated with deeper tissue damage. It
is usually firmly attached to the wound base.
d. A soft mushy leather eschar is not attached to the base and edges of wound and is
sometimes mistaken as a scab.. ANSWER:- c. Eschar usually is black, brown or gray
and associated with deeper tissue damage. It is usually firmly attached to the wound
base.
◎ What is the primary reason for taking the time to perform a comprehensive
assessment to identify protein energy malnutrition as opposed to ordering a simple
blood draw to formulate a diagnosis?
a. Blood tests do not provide a 'stand-alone' assessment.
b. None, blood test for malnutrition are completely reliable.
c. There are no blood tests available.
d. There is a high incidence of false-positive results with blood tests.. ANSWER:- a.
Blood tests do not provide a 'stand-alone' assessment.
◎ Which of the following wounds will heal with scar formation?
a. Full thickness wound.
b. Partial thickness wound.
c. Type 2 skin tear.
d. MARSI (Medical adhesive skin injury).. ANSWER:- a. Full thickness wound.
, ◎ When the skin around a wound develops a whitish appearance, it can be described
as:
a. Desiccated.
b. Excoriated.
c. Indurated.
d. Macerated.. ANSWER:- d. Macerated.
◎ As you setup a skin care program, you identify the elderly to be at risk for skin tears
due to the effects of aging on:
a. Tissue oxygenation.
b. Rete ridges.
c. Nutritional status.
d. Immune system.. ANSWER:- b. Rete ridges.
◎ As wound healing progresses, collagen deposition and remodeling occur and has
which of the following effects?
a. Reduced cytokine production.
b. Increased tensile strength.
c. Restored innervation.
d. Increased monocyte activity.. ANSWER:- b. Increased tensile strength.
◎ You are aware that age itself is NOT a risk factor for failure to heal wounds.
Problems in wound healing for the elderly are most likely associated with:
a. Diet and hydration habits.
b. Lifestyle - such as lack of exercise to stimulate cellular processes.
c. Multiple co-morbidities.
d. Memory loss.. ANSWER:- c. Multiple co-morbidities.
◎ Arterial disease, hypotension, vasopressors and severe anemia can be deleterious to
wound healing because they decrease the amount of:
a. Fibroblasts in the wound extracellular matrix.
b. Time required to clot the wounds.
c. Oxygen in the tissue.
d. Moisture that accumulates in the wound tissues.. ANSWER:- c. Oxygen in the tissue.
◎ Which of the following cells plays a central role in initiating the wound repair
process?
a. Endothelial cells.
b. Fibroblasts.
c. Platelets.
