ANSWERS PDF 2026
▶ ACE inhibitors. Answer: to prevent vasoconstriction by angiotensin II
and decrease circulatory fluid volume by reducing aldosterone production
▶ RACE. Answer: R: rescue anyone in immediate danger
A: activate the fire code and notify appropriate person
C: confine the fire by closing doors and windows
E: evacuate patients and other people to a safe area
▶ jaundice causes. Answer: yellowish, itchy skin; bilirubin problem and
liver not functioning properly
▶ eczema. Answer: red, itchy inflammation of the skin; usually develops in
early childhood, more common in people w/ family history; treatment
involves avoiding soap and other irritants and applying creams or ointments
if prescribed
▶ psoriasis. Answer: common skin condition that speeds up the life cycle
of skin cells, cells build up rapidly on surface of skin and extra skin cells
form scales and red patches that are itchy and sometimes painful; chronic,
comes and goes
▶ wound. Answer: a break or disruption in the normal integrity of the skin
and tissues
▶ intentional wound. Answer: the result of planned invasive therapy or
treatment ex. surgery, intravenous procedure
▶ unintentional wound. Answer: are accidental; occur from unexpected
trauma
, ▶ open wound. Answer: occurs from intentional and unintentional trauma;
skin surface is broken, providing a portal of entry for microorganisms
▶ closed wound. Answer: results from a blow, force, or strain caused by
trauma such as a fall, an assault, or motor vehicle crash
▶ acute wound. Answer: usually heal within days to weeks
▶ chronic wound. Answer: do not progress through stages of healing;
healing impeded
▶ albumin normal lab values. Answer: 3.5-5
▶ vitamin c and zinc. Answer: important in wound healing
▶ phases of wound healing. Answer: -hemostasis-vessels constrict and
clotting begins
-inflammatory-white blood cells move to wound
-proliferation-granulation tissue is formed
-maturation-collagen is remodeled, forms scar
▶ hemostasis. Answer: occurs immediately after intial injury, blood vessels
constrict and clotting begins, exudate(drainage) forms and causes swelling
and pain, increased perfusion results in heat and redness, platelets
stimulate other cells to migrate to injury to participate in phases of healing
▶ inflammatory phase. Answer: follows hemostasis and lasts 4-6 days,
white blood cells move to wound, macrophages enter wound and remain
extended time, they ingest debris and release growth factors, pt has
generalized body repsonse
▶ proliferation phase. Answer: begins 2-3 days of injury and may last up to
2-3 weeks, new tissue is built to fill wound space through action of
fibroblasts, capillaries grow across wound, thin layer of epithelial cells form
across wound, granulation tissue forms a foundation for scar tissue to
develop
