Principles of Wound Management UPDATED ACTUAL Questions and
CORRECT Answers
1. What are the 3 phas- Inflammatory phase, proliferative phase, and remodeling phase
es of cutaneous
wound healing?
2. What occurs in the Following injury, damage to local blood vessels -> platelet aggregation and
inflammatory phase clot formation; recruitment of neutrophils and macrophages
of cutaneous wound
healing?
3. What occurs dur-
ing the proliferative
phase of cutaneous
wound healing?
4. What occurs dur-
ing the remodeling
phase of cutaneous
wound healing?
5. What are life-threat-
ening problems
associated with
wounds?
6. With cervical
wounds (esp. bites),
what should you be
sure to evaluate?
7. How can you cre-
ate a temporary
band-aid if you need
to evaluate/stabilize
, Granulation tissue is formed as
fibroblasts proliferate and secrete
collagen;re-epithelialization over
new granulation tissue also occurs
Occurs over weeks to months,
granulation tissue is replaced by
mature con-nective tissue scar
Shock, hemorrhage, tracheal injury,
pneumothorax, pulmonary trauma,
con-tusions, visceral organ damage,
herniation
Airway, major vessels, esophagus,
laryngeal paralysis, infection
Cover the wound, if large flap, pack
saline-soaked 4x4s in the defect
and temporarily staple the skin over
it; administer analgesia after neuro
evaluation
