Specialty? CORRECT ANSWERS Patient consumers began the specialty
An ESSENTIAL component of a WOC Nursing Practice is: CORRECT ANSWERS
Implements, coordinates, and evaluates specialty care.
A certificate of completion is issued upon successful completion of a Program.
Certification in WOC Nursing is accomplished once the learner has passed exams given
by the: CORRECT ANSWERS WOCNCB® (Wound Ostomy Continence Nursing
Certification Board).
When a learner graduates from a WOCN® accredited nursing education program (i.e.
WEB WOC), and successfully passes all scopes of practice certification exams from the
WOCNCB, the correct abbreviation for the specialist is? CORRECT ANSWERS
CWOCN.
Trends in WOC Nursing Care include which of the following: CORRECT ANSWERS
Safety in patient care, access, and outcomes research.
The highest level of evidence comes from which of the following sources? CORRECT
ANSWERS Randomized clinical trials.
Which of the following statements about Clinical Practice Guidelines is TRUE?
CORRECT ANSWERS Clinical guidelines are derived from the current literature and
summarize state of the art care for specific healthcare issues.
What are the major layers of the skin? CORRECT ANSWERS Epidermis & dermis
What is the primary function of intact skin? CORRECT ANSWERS Protective barrier.
What is the benefit in the skin maintaining an acid mantle (pH 4.5-6.5)? CORRECT
ANSWERS Retards growth of skin pathogens.
How does age alter the skin's epidermal turnover or process of differentiation?
CORRECT ANSWERS Prolongs the rate of cell turnover (>28 days).
Which cells located in the dermis produce collagen (dermal building blocks) and elastin
(tensile strength)? CORRECT ANSWERS Fibroblasts
Structures of the dermis include: CORRECT ANSWERS Collagen, elastin proteins, hair
follicles, sweat (sebaceous) glands.
, The functions of the hypodermis (subcutaneous tissue) include: CORRECT ANSWERS
Cushions, insulates and adds to the mobility of the skin over underlying structures.
Which layer of soft tissue is most vulnerable to pressure over a bony prominence?
CORRECT ANSWERS Muscle.
Diabetes causes increased risk for skin: CORRECT ANSWERS Bacterial and fungal
infections.
What is the definition of MASD? CORRECT ANSWERS Skin damage caused by
prolonged exposure to various sources of moisture.
MASD (Moisture Associated Skin Damage) affects what part of the skin or cell function?
CORRECT ANSWERS Epidermis and/or dermis.
How does MASD alter the acid mantle of the skin? CORRECT ANSWERS Increases
TEWL (transepidermal water loss).
What is the primary risk factor associated with ITD (intertriginous dermatitis)?
CORRECT ANSWERS Obesity
What is the primary risk factor associated with Peristomal MASD? CORRECT
ANSWERS Pouching system leakage
What is the primary risk factor associated with Periwound MASD (PWMASD)?
CORRECT ANSWERS Large amount of wound exudate.
Understanding the physiology of skin when it is injured by MASD is an important
concept. Skin that is occluded by an absorptive type product (i.e. adult brief) results in
what altered skin barrier effect? CORRECT ANSWERS Increase in TEWL (trans-
epidermal water loss) & skin pH.
Which type of wound exudate characteristic is most likely to cause periwound MASD?
CORRECT ANSWERS Thick purulent.
What type of MASD is more prone to fungal or bacterial infections? CORRECT
ANSWERS Incontinence Associated Dermatitis (IAD).
What factors most likely play the greatest risk in the development of peristomal MASD?
CORRECT ANSWERS High pH, liquid stool & eroded pouch barrier.
Moisture Associated Skin Damage (MASD) occurs across the scopes of practice for a
Wound, Ostomy, and Continence care nurse. What is the primary etiology for MASD?
CORRECT ANSWERS Moisture and mechanical forces.
