The presence of macrophages is an important part of which phase of wound healing? - Answer -
Inflammatory phase
Epithelialization and wound contraction are synonymous terms. True/False? - Answer - False
Mobilization aimed at breaking scar tissue will create a new wound with further scar formation.
True/False? - Answer - True
As long as a scar exhibits a rosier appearance than normal, remodeling is underway. True/False?
- Answer - True
The induction theory explains how scar mimics the surrounding tissue it is healing. Which of the
two following statements are true: - Answer - Dense tissue creates dense, highly cross linked
scar.
Pliable tissue creates a loose, coiled, less cross linked scar.
The tension theory refers to internal and external stresses that affect the wound area during the
remodeling phase. Physical changes in scar length can be achieved through___. - Answer - low
load, long duration application of stress
________ occurs past the point of normal tissue healing, lasting greater than 3-6 months, non-
specific, and can be due to nerve damage or nervous system reactions. - Answer - Chronic pain
Neuropathic pain consists of all but which ONE of the following? - Answer - Pain of brief
duration
Psychogenic pain is the easiest to treat because of the characteristic set of symptoms usually
presented. True/False? - Answer - False
Elderly people often suffer unnecessarily, because health care providers assume their pain is part
of the aging process. True/False? - Answer - True
Acute pain becomes chronic when ample time has been allowed for inflammation to subside and
wounds to heal. Which of the following emotional overlays are NOT characteristically found in
individuals with chronic pain? - Answer - Apathy
Burning, lancinating or electric shock qualities. - Answer - Neuropathic pain
