wound - ANSWER ✔✔break in the continuity of body structure,
caused by violence, trauma, or surgery to tissue bodies
ex; of acute wounds - ANSWER ✔✔surgical incisions, traumatic
wounds, lacerations, burns
ex; of chronic wounds - ANSWER ✔✔PI, diabetic ulcers, malignant
acute wound - ANSWER ✔✔wound that proceeds through an orderly
& timely reparative process --> sustained restoration of anatomical &
functional integrity
,phases of wound healing - ANSWER ✔✔1) inflammatory phase
2) proliferative phase
3) remodelling phase
what's a part of the proliferative phase? - ANSWER ✔✔proliferation,
granulation & contraction
what happens during inflammatory phase? - ANSWER ✔✔1)
hemostasis. (vasoconstriction)
2) platelets + fibrin forms, clot formation
3) histamina, vasodilation, increased capillary permeability, erythema,
swelling & warmth
what happens day 1-3 inflammatory phase? - ANSWER
✔✔neutrophils released to injury site, phagocytosis of debris beings.
what happens during day 3-24 of proliferative phase? - ANSWER
✔✔1) granulation tissue appears in wound
2) contraction of wound edges
3) resurfacing by epithelialization --> dermal regen.
4) vascular bed reestablished
,what happens during day 24-2 yrs of remodelling phase? - ANSWER
✔✔1) collagen fibers reorganize & remodel
2) permanent scar
3) attains 80% of original strength
Primary intention healing - ANSWER ✔✔wound that is closed by
suture or wound closers & healing occurs by collagen synthesis; lower
risk of infection, and heals quickly w/ minimal scarring.
secondary intention healing - ANSWER ✔✔wound edges are not
approximated. heals by granulation tissue formation, wound contraction
& epithelialization.
has a prolonged phase of inflammation due to increased time needed for
phagocytosis of necrotic tissue.
tertiary intention healing - ANSWER ✔✔wound is left open for several
days as it could be contaminated. has an increased risk of infection, so
closure of wound is done later until risk of infection is resolved.

, why is the wound kept open for tertiary healing? - ANSWER ✔✔to
allow exudate to drain, prevent the spread of deep infection & aiding
granulation.
medical asepsis - ANSWER ✔✔aka, *clean technique*.
includes procedures used to reduce & prevent the spread of
microorganisms
ex; of medical asepsis - ANSWER ✔✔hand washing, clean gloves,
cleaning environment routinely.
ex; of surgical asepsis - ANSWER ✔✔aka *surgical technique*.
requires more stringent techniques, *eliminating all microorganisms*.
when do you use surgical asepsis? - ANSWER ✔✔when a patient's
kin is broken, or if the nurse performs an invasive procedure in a body
cavity that is normally free of microorganisms.
ex; of surgical asepsis procedures - ANSWER ✔✔- protective
clothing
- opening sterile packages
- sterile field
- pouring sterile solns
