QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS | ALREADY GRADED A+ WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS
Wound Care - Sterile, room temp normal saline 3x day
sterile dressing
paper tape
skin - largest organ of the body
epidermis - outermost layer of skin
dermis - middle layer of skin
Wound Assessment - Location
Size
Appearance
Drainage
Redness
Swelling
Principles of hemostasis - blood vessels constrict, clot formation
, principles of inflammatory - vasodilation, white blood cells for cleanup &
repair
principles of proliferative - epithelialization (fibroblasts at site, new epidermis,
capillaries, collagen for strength/structure and contraction for wound reduction)
Principles of maturation - collagen
stronger/strength- scar
collagen - 70%of the dermis, important to wound healing
Primary wound healing - Edges of clean surgical incisions that remain close
together. Wound heals quickly with minimal tissue loss. Cells regenerate quickly
and capillary walls stretch under the suture line to form a smooth surface
Secondary wound healing - - Wounds are left open and are allowed to heal by
scar formation.
Tertiary wound healing - Delayed primary intention or closure. Surgical
wounds that are left open for 3-5 days to allow edema/infection to diminish then
the wound is sutured/stapled
granulation tissue - new tissue that is pink/red in color and composed of
fibroblasts and small blood vessels that fill an open wound when it starts to heal
slough tissue - soft yellow or white tissue
