FPCC Main Exam Study Guide Questions &
Verified Correct Answers
Risk factors for Pressure Ulcer Decelopment - ✔Impaired sensory
perception-Impaired mobility-
Alteration in level of consciousness-
Shear - ✔The sliding of skin and tissue while the muscle and bone are stationary
Friction - ✔Two surfaces crossing one another
Dragging pt across the sheet instead of picking up and moving
Stage I pressure ulcer - ✔Nonblanchable redness of Intact skin
Nonnlanchable erythema of a localized area over a bony prominence
Stage II - ✔Partial thickness skin loss or Blister
Loss of the Dermis
Shiny or dry shallow ulcer without slough or bruising
Stage III - ✔Full thickness skin loss (Fat Visible)
Subq fat may be visible but you can still measure the depth and all dimensions
, Stage IV - ✔Full thickness tissue loss (muscle/ bone visible)
Slough or eschar
may be present
Often has tunneling
Unstageable - ✔Full thickness skin or tissue loss/ depth
unknown Slough and eschar must be removed to know the depth
Vector Bourne - ✔Illness caused by an infectious microbe that is transmitted to
people by blood sucking Arthropods
(Mosquitos)
What are our Goals? To prevent HAIs - ✔Prevent exposure
Early detection
Eliminate or reduce the infection
Support pt natural defenses
Educate in infection, prevention, and control
Nursing assessment manifestations of infection:
Stages of an infection - ✔Incubation
Prodromal
Illness
Convalescence
Symptomatic?
