laceration - ANS open wound
bruise - ANS closed wound
stress, strain on the wound, age, nutritional status, physical condition, skin preparation, and
wound care - ANS What factors influence wound healing
incision - ANS surgical cut
puncture - ANS stab wound
Hemostasis, Inflammatory, Reconstruction, and Maturation - ANS 4 phases of wound healing
hemostasis - ANS this phase begins as soon as the injury occurs by clot formation;
termination of bleeding

minimal.
secondary intention - ANS Healing that occurs when skin edges of the wound are not close
together or when pus is formed
tertiary intention - ANS The wound is purposely left open due to heavy infection or
contamination
nutritional needs, fluids, rest and activity, underlying disease processes - ANS What are
