NF3 FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Save
, wound is clean, straight edges (surgical incision),
primary intention of edges approximated with sutures, staples, or tape,
wound healing infection risk is low, healing occurs quickly w/ minimal
scarring
wound is large & irregular with considerable tissue
secondary intention of loss, longer repair & healing time, edges not
wound healing approximated, scar large & pronounced, higher
infection risk
wound is left open due to possible contamination or
tertiary intention of wound
debris, observation required, edges approximated as
healing
well as possible once wound is clean
REEDA, TACO, wound measurement (length, width,
key components of wound
depth; undermining & tunnelling), drain assessment (#
assessment (wounds with
of drains, placement, patency, character & amount of
drains)
drainage, condition of collection equipment)
used to remove drainage from the wound and deposit
open drainage system it onto the skin surface (dressing) ex- penrose drain,
biliary t-tube drain
uses vacuum to withdraw accumulated drainage from
closed drainage suction
around the wound bed into the collection device (ex-
system
hemovac drain, jackson pratt(JP))
thin ruber perforated tubing collects drainage into a
soft bulb with a removable stopper, bulb is
JP drain
compressed and closed to create negative pressure;
collect small volume, sutured in place
drain by gravity, drainage collected onto dressing,
soft, flexible rubber tube, sterile safety pin used to
Penrose drain
prevent drain from slipping inside wound, may or may
not be sutures, shortened/removed as per doc orders
