normal pulse rate - CORRECT ANSWERS-60-100
Normal temperature - CORRECT ANSWERS-97.8-99.1
debridement - CORRECT ANSWERS-cleaning away devitalized tissue and foreign matter from a
wound
dehiscence - CORRECT ANSWERS-separation of layers of a surgical wound; may be partial,
superficial or a complete disruption of the surgical wound
desiccation - CORRECT ANSWERS-dehydration
the process of being rendered free from moisture
epithelialization - CORRECT ANSWERS-stage of wound healing in which epithelial cells form

an intentional wound is the result of? - CORRECT ANSWERS-planned invasive therapy or
treatment
examples are wound resulting from surgery, IV therapy, and lumbar puncture
in older adults what are age related changes that occur that could affect wound healing -
CORRECT ANSWERS-skin loses turgor and is more fragile
decreased secretion of enzymes and absorption of nutrients and minerals may increase risk for
delayed wound healing
risk of infection increases because:
-slower inflammatory response
-reduced antibody production and endocrine system function
-increased incidence of chronic illnesses, such as diabetes and CV disease, that compromise
circulation and tissue oxygenation
