NF3 FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS 100% PASS
primary intention of wound healing - CORRECT ANSWER-wound is clean,
straight edges (surgical incision), edges approximated with sutures, staples, or tape,
infection risk is low, healing occurs quickly w/ minimal scarring
secondary intention of wound healing - CORRECT ANSWER-wound is large &
irregular with considerable tissue loss, longer repair & healing time, edges not
approximated, scar large & pronounced, higher infection risk
tertiary intention of wound healing - CORRECT ANSWER-wound is left open
due to possible contamination or debris, observation required, edges approximated
as well as possible once wound is clean
key components of wound assessment (wounds with drains) - CORRECT
ANSWER-REEDA, TACO, wound measurement (length, width, depth;
undermining & tunnelling), drain assessment (# of drains, placement, patency,
character & amount of drainage, condition of collection equipment)
,open drainage system - CORRECT ANSWER-used to remove drainage from the
wound and deposit it onto the skin surface (dressing) ex- penrose drain, biliary t-
tube drain
closed drainage suction system - CORRECT ANSWER-uses vacuum to withdraw
accumulated drainage from around the wound bed into the collection device (ex-
hemovac drain, jackson pratt(JP))
JP drain - CORRECT ANSWER-thin ruber perforated tubing collects drainage
into a soft bulb with a removable stopper, bulb is compressed and closed to create
negative pressure; collect small volume, sutured in place
Penrose drain - CORRECT ANSWER-drain by gravity, drainage collected onto
dressing, soft, flexible rubber tube, sterile safety pin used to prevent drain from
slipping inside wound, may or may not be sutures, shortened/removed as per doc
orders
Biliary (T-tube) drain - CORRECT ANSWER-placed in the common bile duct to
drain from the liver, for patients who have cholecystectomy, exploration of the
common bile duct, or live transplant
hemorrhage (bleeding) - CORRECT ANSWER-can be internal (hematoma) or
external
dehiscence - CORRECT ANSWER-partial/total separation of wound layers (no
protrusions of organs, may feel a pop or pulling sensation)

, evisceration - CORRECT ANSWER-protrusion of visceral organs through wound
opening
fistulas - CORRECT ANSWER-abnormal passage two organs or between an
organ and outside of the body
obstructive sleep apnea - CORRECT ANSWER-disorder in which an individual
stops breathing for at least 10 seconds while asleep due to obstruction of upper
airway
risk factors of obstructive sleep apnea - CORRECT ANSWER-age (elderly),
obesity, large necks, gender (male), ethnicity, smoking, alcohol or sedatives, family
history
symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea - CORRECT ANSWER-excessive daytime
sleepiness and fatigue, loud snoring, morning headaches, dry mouth and throat
upon waking, waking up abruptly w/ shortness of breath/gasping upon awakening,
insomnia or frequent arousal from sleep, observed pauses in breathing while asleep
complications of obstructive sleep apnea - CORRECT ANSWER-depression,
irritability, difficulty concentrating, relationship problems, cardiac issues including
hypertension, increased risk for complications following major surgery/ general
anesthetic
treatment of obstructive sleep apnea - CORRECT ANSWER-CPAP, BiPAP,
weight loss, oral appliance, surgery, addressing underlying; cardiac, respiratory
complications and emotional problems
