WCC Test 1 Question with Correct Answers
4 phases of wound healing
Hemostasis
Inflammatory
Proliferation
Maturation
first responders to injury site in inflammatory phase
neutrophils
neutrophils and macrophages are considered hat?
phagocytes
what generates contractile force in proliferative phase?
myofibroblasts
maturation AKA...
remodeling phase
what happens in collagen maturation in maturation phase?
Type 3 collagen is replaced by type 1 collagen, enhancing scar tissue strength.
primary intention healing is limited to ... wounds
full-thickness
what is primary intention closure?
wound edges are approximated
, What is secondary closure?
when wound edges cannot be approximated. Body must fil wound with granulation tissue
before epithelialization can occur.
Chronic wounds usually heal by what intention?
secondary
What happens in tertiary closure (AKA delayed closure)?
wound initially kept open to address complications.
What is cellular senescence?
cells cease to divide but do not die as they usually would.
normal serum albumin level
3.5-5
Decreased levels of albumin are associated with what?
pressure injuries and edema.
elevated HgbA1c can keep wounds stuck in what phase?
inflammatory.
normal prealbumin level
16-36
normal CRP level
3
vesicle
