●● Hydrocolloid dressing.
Answer: protects the wound from surface contamination; breathable and
adheres to skin, contains gel forming agents
●● Wound vacuum assisted closure (V.A.C.).
Answer: Assists in wound closure by applying negative pressure to draw
the edge of the wound together
Accelerates healing
Reduces edema
Improves circulation
Reduces bacterial counts in the wound
Wound care nurse or trained floor nurse applies
LECTURE: *uses negative pressure to support healing*
●● Hydrofiber dressings.
Answer: used for moderate and highly exudative wounds.
,>> Hydrofiber dressings provide high absorbency and can stay in the
wound for several days
Lecture: *provide high absorbency*
●● Alginate dressings******.
Answer: made from algae and are recommended for moderate to high
exudative wounds. *They provide hemostasis and can remain in a
wound for several days, thus requiring less frequent dressing changes.*
>> An alginate dressing is not self-adhesive and needs a secondary
dressing for reinforcement.
LECTURE: *high absorptive abilities, and can remain in a wound for
several days* so they require less frequent dressing changes.
●● Hydrogel.
Answer: used for debridement of wounds with necrotized tissue and
eschars, and causes minimal trauma to the healing wound bed.
Hydrogels work differently than other dressings in that they can provide
moisture to or draw moisture away from the wound dependent upon the
needs of the wound.
Lecture: used in dry wounds for debridement of necrotized tissue and
eschar. & Hydrogel dressings are used for clients who have a dry wound
and minimal exudate.
, ●● self-adhesive transparent dressings.
Answer: used for covering superficial wounds that have minimal
exudate. Also called film dressing.
●● Potential manifestations of sepsis.
Answer: - elevated WBC
- elevated bgl
- fever
- hypotension
BUN has nothing to do with sepsis; it has to do with kidney fx
●● stage 1 pressure injury.
Answer: Stage 1
pressure injuries are described as non-blanchable areas of erythema.
●● stage 2 pressure injury.
Answer: Stage 2, pressure injuries are described as partial-thickness skin
loss with pink or red viable tissue in the wound bed.
●● stage 3 pressure injury.
