EMORY WOUND Examination – Actual Exam Coverage
The EMORY WOUND Examination generally evaluates
advanced wound care knowledge for clinicians involved in
wound management, pressure injury prevention, ostomy
care, diabetic wound treatment, vascular ulcer care, and
evidence-based wound healing practices. The examination
commonly includes theoretical knowledge, clinical
decision-making, patient safety, interdisciplinary care, and
wound assessment competency.
Exam coverage
Skin anatomy and wound healing phases
Acute vs chronic wound identification
Pressure injury staging and prevention
Diabetic foot ulcer assessment and offloading
, Venous and arterial ulcer differentiation
Wound infection and biofilm management
Dressing selection principles
Debridement methods
Compression therapy
Negative pressure wound therapy
Nutritional support for wound healing
Pain management strategies
Ostomy and fistula care
Advanced wound therapies
Documentation standards
Patient education and safety
EMORY WOUND EXAMINATION MCQs (Questions 1–50)
Question 1
A bedridden older adult develops nonblanchable erythema
over the sacrum without skin breakdown after prolonged
immobility during hospitalization. Which pressure injury
stage should the wound nurse document?
,A. Stage 2 pressure injury
B. Deep tissue pressure injury
C. Stage 1 pressure injury
D. Unstageable pressure injury
Answer:
C. Stage 1 pressure injury
Rationale:
Stage 1 pressure injuries present with intact skin and
nonblanchable redness over a bony prominence. There is
no skin loss or exposed tissue present.
Question 2
A diabetic patient with peripheral neuropathy continues
walking barefoot at home despite repeated ulcer recurrence
beneath the metatarsal heads. Which intervention is most
critical for preventing further tissue breakdown?
A. Daily whirlpool therapy
B. Offloading pressure from affected areas
C. Routine wet-to-dry dressings
D. Limiting fluid intake
Answer:
B. Offloading pressure from affected areas
, Rationale:
Offloading removes repetitive pressure contributing to
diabetic foot ulcer formation. Neuropathic patients often
cannot feel damaging pressure or trauma.
Question 3
A wound containing yellow slough and moderate drainage
requires debridement while minimizing trauma to healthy
granulation tissue. Which debridement method is most
selective?
A. Mechanical debridement
B. Wet-to-dry gauze dressing
C. Autolytic debridement
D. Surgical debridement
Answer:
C. Autolytic debridement
Rationale:
Autolytic debridement uses the body’s own enzymes and
moisture to selectively liquefy necrotic tissue while
preserving healthy tissue.
