Individual risk factors associated with impaired tissue integrity? - ANSWER-health conditions (poor peripheral perfusion, malnutrition or obesity, dehydration or edema, impaired mobility, immunosuppression) Exposure to irritants (radiation, temp extremes, chemical or mechanical trauma)Tissue trauma (friction, shearing, moisture, pressure) 2. What are the three phases of wound healing? - ANSWER-inflammatory phase Proliferative phase Maturation phase 3. What's the inflammatory phase of wound healing? - ANSWER-initiated immediately after injury and lasts 3-6 days Hemostasis develops; macrophages remove debris Wound appears reddened and edematous 4. What's the proliferative phase of wound healing? - ANSWER-lasts from day 3-4 to 21 days New blood vessels and tissue are formed Wound contains granulation tissue Beefy red and bleeds easily 5. What's the maturation phase of wound healing? - ANSWER-lasts from 21 days to months (can extend to 1-2 years) Collagen fiber is remodeled Scar formation and contraction occur 6. What are the types of wound healing? - ANSWER-primary intention Secondary intention Tertiary intention 7. What's the primary intention of wound healing? - ANSWER-wound margins are well approximated (closed) Most rapid healing due to minimal or no tissue loss 8. Ex) lacerations, surgical incisions 9. What's the secondary intention of wound healing? - ANSWER-wound margins are not well approximated and involved considerable tissue loss Larger wound area requires formation of granulation tissue to fill in the gap Repair time is longer Scarring is created Infection risk is greater Ex) pressure ulcers 10. What's tertiary intention of wound healing? - ANSWER-wound healing is delayed and occurs when the wound that has previously open is now closed Process usually associated with large infected and contaminated wounds Ex) infections 11.

What's the subcutaneous tissue? - ANSWER-third layer of skin, below dermis Helps with padding, warmth, etc. 25. Lifespan considerations for infants (tissue) - ANSWER-thinner skin with less subcutaneous fat Milia on face Risk for dehydration 26. Lifespan considerations for children (tissue) - ANSWER-thinner skin Larger body surface area than adults 27.
