WOCN Wound Care RN Exam Prep
questions with answers
Steps to heal by Secondary Intention - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔Formation of
granulation tissue, contraction of the wound bed edges, and epithelialization
Partial thickness repair - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔Inflammatory response, epithelial
proliferation and migration, epidermal reestablishment and differentiation
What characterizes a chronic wound healing environment - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS
**✔✔Low levels of growth factors and receptor sites. They are needed to move cells out of
the inflammatory phase and into the proliferative/Rebuilding Phase
What Vitamin assists in collagen/fibroplasia formation? - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS
**✔✔Vitamin C
Normal protein intake - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔.8 g/kg/24
Protein intake for injury - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔increased 1.25 - 1.5 /kg/24 hours
BMI >25 increases - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔dehiscence, infection, delayed wound
healing, adipose tissue poorly perfused and heals at a slower rate
Keloid Scars are formed how? - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔Overgrowth of collagen
within scar tissue, seen with pigmented skin. Trauma. May ulcerate. Genetic.
, Hypertrophic Scar are formed how? - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔scar with thickened

violaceous (purple) raised edges. Sharp debridement is contraindicated.
Calciphylaxix - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔Calcific uremic arteriolopathy elevated
calcium/phosphate. Dialysis. may present similar to Pyoderma. Aggressive sharp
debridement for necrotic tissue.
Partial thickness wound - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔shallow ,.2 cm, moist, pink/red
wound base, exposure of basement membrane and of nerve endings. Epidermal/Dermal
Loss
