Questions & Answers | Grade A|
1. What are the correct components of abscess care?
o A) Change dressing daily
o B) May apply warm compress, follow up after drainage
o C) Soak abscess in water to assist drainage
o D) All the above
Correct Answer: D) All the above
Rationale: Standard abscess care involves daily dressing
changes, applying warm compresses to promote drainage, and
soaking (e.g., in warm water) can aid in drainage for certain
abscesses. All listed actions are appropriate interventions.
2. What do flexor tendon injuries typically require?
o A) Ice pack and discharge
o B) Orthopedic specialist
o C) None of the above
NR 511
, 2
NR 511
o D) Closure by the NP
Correct Answer: B) Orthopedic specialist
Rationale: Flexor tendon injuries are complex, often require
surgical repair, and need specialized management by an
orthopedic or hand surgery specialist to restore function and
prevent complications.
3. What type of injury, often involving tendons, can typically be
closed by a clinician in a clinic setting?
o A) Flexor sprains
o B) Extensor tendon injuries
o C) Extensor sprains
o D) Flexor tendon injuries
Correct Answer: B) Extensor tendon injuries
Rationale: While the question wording is slightly unclear, the key
distinction is that simple, clean extensor tendon injuries
(especially in certain zones of the hand) can sometimes be
repaired primarily in a clinic, whereas flexor tendon injuries
almost always require specialist referral.
4. What should puncture wounds be assessed for?
o A) All of the above
o B) Skin integrity
NR 511

o C) Range of motion
o D) Vascular and neurological function
Correct Answer: A) All of the above
Rationale: A comprehensive assessment of a puncture wound
must include checking skin integrity for signs of infection,
evaluating range of motion of the affected area, and performing a
neurovascular exam to ensure no underlying damage to nerves or
blood vessels.
5. What is the preferred method for cleansing a lacerated
wound?
o A) Soapy water
o B) Saline irrigation
o C) Betadine
o D) Both A and B (red and blue choices)
Correct Answer: B) Saline irrigation
Rationale: High-pressure saline irrigation is the standard of care
for wound cleansing as it effectively removes debris and bacteria
without causing tissue toxicity. Betadine and soap can be
irritating to wound beds.
6. True or False: Betadine and hydrogen peroxide are irritating
to a lacerated wound.
