Wound/Injury - Correct Answers-A disruption of the integrity & function of tissues in the body
Wound classifications - Correct Answers-Enable the medical technician to understand the risk
associated with a wound & implications for healing
Acute - Correct Answers-Orderly & timely reparative process & results in sustained restoration
of anatomical & functional integrity
Acute - Correct Answers-Caused by trauma or a surgical incision
Chronic - Correct Answers-Fails to proceed through an orderly & timely process to produce
anatomical & functional integrity
Chronic - Correct Answers-Caused by vascular compromise or chronic inflammation
Wound management - Correct Answers-Involves preventing the infection, preventing further
injury to the wound and nearby tissues, and preventing blood loss and pain
Primary, secondary, and tertiary intention - Correct Answers-For wound management, the

Primary intention - Correct Answers-Typically for clean surgical incisions with little tissue loss;
risk of infection is low
, Secondary intention - Correct Answers-Used for a pressure ulcer, burn, or severe laceration
where tissue loss is greater; risk of infection is high
Tertiary infection - Correct Answers-If wound is contaminated or if needed after a surgical
procedure such as a ruptured appendix; closure of wound is delayed until risk of infection is
