NURS 6630: Advanced Pharmacology for the Nurse Practitioner
regeneration - //correct answer//renewal/healing of tissue; can be considered in types or
phases
rate of healing - //correct answer//depends on factors such as the type of healing, the
location, and size of the wound, patient's health
primary and secondary - //correct answer//two types of healing, each influenced by the
amount of tissue loss
primary intention healing (primary union or first intention) - //correct answer//tissue
surfaces are approximated (closed) and there is minimal or no tissue loss, formation of
minimal granulation tissue and scarring; surgical incision; tissue adhesive
approximated - //correct answer//closed, with the wound's edges touching each other
Secondary intention healing - //correct answer//a wound that is extensive and involves
considerable tissue loss and in which the edges cannot or should not be approximated;
repair time longer, scarring greater, risk of in fection greater
Tertiary intention healing (delayed primary intention healing) - //correct answer//Wound
is left open for 3-5 days to allow edema or infection to resolve; gets liquid out; serious
wounds
3 stages of wound healing - //correct answer//inflammation, proliferation, maturation
inflammatory phase - //correct answer//initiated immediately after injury and lasts 3-6
days; hemostatsis/cell migration of macrophages/ phagocytosis
hemostasis - //correct answer//the cessation of bleeding
proliferative phase - //correct answer//second phase in healing, extends from day 3 or 4
to about day 21 postinjury; collagen, granulation tissue
fibrin - //correct answer//connective tissue during hemostatis
maturation phase - //correct answer//beings about day 21 and can extend 1-2 years
after wound injury; keloid
macrophages - //correct answer//large cells of the immune system that remove waste
and harmful microorganisms
keloid - //correct answer//Thick scar resulting from excessive collagen during repair of
wound
, phagocytosis - //correct answer//process that macrophages engulf microorganisms and
cellular debris
complications of wound healing - //correct answer//hemorrhage, infection, dehiscence,
evisceration
evisceration - //correct answer//the protrusion of the internal viscera through an incision;
medical emergency
collagen - //correct answer//Whitish protein substance that adds tensile strength to the
wound
Prevention of wound complications - //correct answer//nutrition; lifestyle; medications
(anti-inflammatory, antineoplastic drugs interfere, avoid prolonged antibiotics)
granulation tissue - //correct answer//A fragile gelatinous tissue, appearing pink or red,
happens during capillary development in the proliferative phase
nonphar therapy (wound healing) - //correct answer//infection prevention measures;
vacuum assisted closure; cellular therapies; bio-surgery; positioning; nutrition; teach
signs of infection
sterilization - //correct answer//process that destroys all microorganisms, including
spores and viruses
4 types of sterilization - //correct answer//moist heat (autoclave), gas, boiling water,
radiation
isolation - //correct answer//refers to measures designed to prevent the spread of
infection or potentially infectious microorganisms to health personnel, patients, and
visitors
Hemorrhage - //correct answer//massive bleeding
Universal Precautions (UP) - //correct answer//techniques to be used with all patients to
decrease the risk of transmitting unidentified pathogens
hematoma - //correct answer//a localized collection of blood underneath the skin that
may appear as a reddish blue swelling; bruise
bloodborne pathogens - //correct answer//microorganisms carried in blood and body
fluids tat are capable of infecting other individuals with serious and difficult-to-treat viral
infections, namely Hep B,C, and HIV
