Emory University – Wound Exam 1 (2025) – Complete
Exam with Verified Multiple-Choice Answers and
Solutions – 100% Correct A+ Study Guide
Introduction:
This document contains the complete Emory University Wound Exam
1 (2025) with verified multiple-choice questions and accurate, graded
answers. It thoroughly covers skin structure, wound healing phases,
epidermal layers, and key wound care principles used in clinical
scenarios. The material includes both theoretical and applied case
studies on pressure injuries, wound etiology, tissue repair, and
support surface selection. It is a full, reliable study resource for
nursing and wound care students preparing for actual exam
assessments.
Exam Questions and Answers
Which statement accurately describes an assumptions WCNs can
use when differentiating pressure wounds from non-pressure
wounds? (17)
A. Current evidence indicates that most pressure wounds develop at
the muscle-bone interface
B. Most pressure/shear wounds are partial-thickness wounds that
exhibit evidence of ischemic damage
,C. Most non-pressure wounds present as superficial wounds with
evidence of friction and tissue ischemia
D. Diagnostic tools and imaging technology are readily available for
use by clinicians in all care settings --- correct answer ---A -- PIs
are usually full thickness bc damage usually begins at muscle-bone
interface
Which assessment parameter is of greatest value to differential
assessment of wounds? (17)
A. Indicators of pressure vs indicators of maceration or friction
B. Wound size
C. Type of eschar involved
D. Indicators of infected vs noninfected wounds --- correct answer -
--A -- what is the source of the injury?
Which condition might the WCN observe as an indicator of pressure
injury? (17)
A. Maceration of surrounding tissue
B. Excessive granulation tissue
C. Edema
D. Purple discoloration --- correct answer ---D -- d/t ischemia
, A WCN documents a wound as being of mixed etiology. What is the
nurse describing? (17)
A. Patient history reveals exposure to only one mechanical stressor
B. The wound is limited to the superficial skin and tissue layers
C. Features of both superficial and deeper injury are manifested
D. Patient positioning affected the development of the wound ---
correct answer ---C -- superficial skin loss with evidence of deeper
damage
What skin condition is associated with increased risk for pressure
injury? (17)
A. Dry skin
B. Macerated skin
C. Hyperkeratotic skin
D. Skin manifesting a rash --- correct answer ---B -- maceration
decreases resistance of skin to external pressure sources
An incidence study addresses the percentage of patients who
develop an ulcer after admission. (L2)
