ulcer development
- made up of 6 subscales :
1) sensory perception (able to respond to pressure-related
discomfort)
2) moisture - degree which skin is exposed to moisture
3) activity - degree of physical activity
4) mobility - ability to change and control body position
5) nutrition - usual food intake pattern
6) friction and shear - maximum assistance in moving, sliding
against sheets
classification of surgery Correct Answer - seriousness (minor

creatinine, glucose, etc)
radiology - CT scans, Xrays, MRI
TB skin tests, EKG, echocardiogram, stress test
complications of wound healing : dishiscence Correct Answer
- incision fails to heal and layers separate
- partial or total depending on how many layers are involved
- at risk : obese, poor nutrition, infection
complications of wound healing : evisceration Correct Answer
- total separation of wound layers
-emergency
- cover organs with sterile saline soaked gauze
complications of wound healing : hemorrhage Correct Answer
-hemorrhage: bleeding from wound site
