- 2027
A 34-year-old female is admitted for management of pain and
palliative wound care for metastatic breast cancer. During her
physical exam, the wound in the left breast is a fungating mass
sized at 12 cm x 10 cm x various heights with slough and scant
drainage. What physiologic wound care would you recommend?
Apply hydrogel sheets to the left breast to gently debride and decrease
pain.
Upon your assessment of Mrs. Jones sacral pressure injury, you
note a lack of reduction of size in a clean granulating wound for
the last 4 weeks thus suggested the use of electrical stimulation
because of the following positive effects?
Enhance perfusion and migration of cells critical for healing.
The recombinant PDGF (platelet derived growth factor),
Regranex, is specifically indicated for which of the following
wounds?
Diabetic plantar ulcers.
Mr. Simpson has a BMI >40 and is admitted for R. side
hemiplegia due to a stroke. Considering pressure redistribution
needs for this bariatric patient, which of the following would be
most appropriate in meeting his unique needs?
Bariatric bed with therapeutic mattress and microclimate control.
,You have a patient in acute care who has multiple risk factors for
skin breakdown. Which of the following statements are true
regarding frequency of skin assessment?
Patients at risk for skin break down should have at least a daily skin
inspection.
Your wound assessment reveals a full thickness ulcer, with scant
amount of serosanguinous drainage. You note that the wound
base is pale pink and there is a tunnel at 3 o'clock. The wound
measurements are unchanged in the last 2 week's wound
assessments. The patient denies pain with palpation, but you note
mild periwound erythema. What would be your BEST response in
developing the plan of care for this patient?
Apply a silver hydrogel impregnated gauze strip wicked into the
tunnel.
Which of the following dressings would be most appropriate for a
patient with a full-thickness pressure injury with significant
undermining and a dry wound bed?
Hydrogel impregnated gauze.
Of the following dressings, which would be most appropriate for a
shallow, clean, granulating wound that measures 2 cm X 1.5 cm
and has minimal exudate?
Hydrocolloid dressing.
Of the following, which would be most appropriate as a primary
dressing for an exudative pressure injury with a depth of 4.5 cm?
Calcium alginate.
Of the following dressings, which is best for the moderately
exudative venous ulcer?
Foam dressing.
, One of the reasons scab formation and necrotic tissue are
generally considered undesirable in the wound is because they:
Slow the process of epithelialization.
Acute versus chronic wound characteristics are:
have different types of cellular activity, different levels of proteases.
Ultrasonic mist aids in debridement of necrotic tissue and reduces
bioburden of wounds using:
A saline mist.
Traditional Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) is
indicated for:
Wounds with 80% granulation tissue in the wound base.
A partial thickness wound is considered difficult to heal
(refractory or recalcitrant) if:
There has been no improvement in 1 - 2 weeks despite appropriate
treatment.
A colleague is talking with you in the elevator about your wound
care protocols and practice. The question raised is - what type of
evidence do you have to validate that your practice is evidence-
based? Of the following, select research that is the most evidence-
based for your practice.
Randomized controlled studies, guidelines for practice from reputable
wound care societies.
Which of the following is a benefit of moist wound healing?
It promotes autolysis.
Your patient wants to keep their wound open to the air. You state
the benefit of keeping the wound covered and moist wound
healing is which of the following?
