EXAM | BRAND NEW!
Which type of wounds develop at the muscle-bone interface? (17)
A. Friction wounds
B. Pressure injuries
C. Incontinence wounds
D. Wounds caused by intertriginous dermatitis
B -- shear strain disrupts BVs from deeper structures and causes DTI as
occurs with PIs
What is the initial effect of sustained pressure on a body part? (17)
A. Tissue necrosis
B. Tissue loss
C. Tissue deformation
D. Tissue remodeling
,Page 2 of 35
C -- PIs are most likely to occur over bony prominences or under
medical devices where soft tissue breaks down more readily
What is the driving force for the collection of data regarding facility-
acquired PIs? (17)
A. Patient satisfaction
B. Quality indicators
C. Infection control
D. Minimizing staff workload
B -- benchmarking of facility acquired PI rates reflects quality of care
and identifies opportunities to improve care
Which statement accurately describes an assumptions WCNs can use
when differentiating pressure wounds from non-pressure wounds?
(17)
A. Current evidence indicates that most pressure wounds develop at
the muscle-bone interface
B. Most pressure/shear wounds are partial-thickness wounds that
exhibit evidence of ischemic damage
,Page 3 of 35
C. Most non-pressure wounds present as superficial wounds with
evidence of friction and tissue ischemia
D. Diagnostic tools and imaging technology are readily available for
use by clinicians in all care settings
A -- PIs are usually full thickness bc damage usually begins at muscle-
bone interface
Which assessment parameter is of greatest value to differential
assessment of wounds? (17)
A. Indicators of pressure vs indicators of maceration or friction
B. Wound size
C. Type of eschar involved
D. Indicators of infected vs noninfected wounds
A -- what is the source of the injury?
Which condition might the WCN observe as an indicator of pressure
injury? (17)
A. Maceration of surrounding tissue
, Page 4 of 35
B. Excessive granulation tissue
C. Edema
D. Purple discoloration
D -- d/t ischemia
A WCN documents a wound as being of mixed etiology. What is the
nurse describing? (17)
A. Patient history reveals exposure to only one mechanical stressor
B. The wound is limited to the superficial skin and tissue layers
C. Features of both superficial and deeper injury are manifested
D. Patient positioning affected the development of the wound
C -- superficial skin loss with evidence of deeper damage
What skin condition is associated with increased risk for pressure
injury? (17)
A. Dry skin
B. Macerated skin
C. Hyperkeratotic skin
