CORRECTLY WELL DEFINED ANSWERS
LATEST ALREADY GRADED A+ 2026
Daily bathing is not usually necessary for which patient
populations? (L1)
A. Neonates and elderly
B. All age groups should bathe daily
C. Middle aged adults on steroids
D. Toddlers and young adults - ANSWERS-A
Alkaline products should generally be avoided because they
remove protective oils from the skin and alter the protective
"acid mantle." (L1)
True or False - ANSWERS-True
,Emollients should be applied to damp skin after bathing.
(L1)
True or False - ANSWERS-True
Match to appropriate category based on the effect of the
time required for epidermal regeneration
A. Reduced Time for Epidermal Regeneration (rate of
epidermal mitosis is increased)
B. Increased Time for Epidermal Regeneration (results in
thinning of epidermis)
Options:
1. Skin Loss
2. Aging
3. Steroids - ANSWERS-A - 1
B - 2,3
,Reduced cohesion between the epidermis and dermis
(flattening of dermal papillae) significantly increases the risk
of skin tears. (L1)
True or False - ANSWERS-True
Atrophy of subcutaneous tissue increases the risk of
pressure injury due to the decreased ability to redistribute
weight in soft tissue and increases the risk of shear damage
due to the loss of "shock absorbing" layer. (L1)
True or False - ANSWERS-True
Reduced activity of sebaceous and sweat glands causes dry
skin and protects its barrier function. This decreases the risk
of skin tears and superficial breaks in the skin. (L1)
True or False - ANSWERS-False
Reduced sensory function decreases the risk for
unrecognized trauma (burns, pressure injuries, etc.) (L1)
True or False - ANSWERS-False
, Cellular senescence contributes to non-healing wounds
because key cells fail to reproduce and to engage in the
activities critical to repair (e.g. fibroblasts fail to reproduce
and to synthesize collagen.) (L1)
True or False - ANSWERS-True
Patch - ANSWERS-Flat area clearly defined by a change in
skin color; >0.5cm diameter
Bulla - ANSWERS-Superficial, fluid-filled blister; >0.5cm
diameter
Macule - ANSWERS-Flat area clearly defined by a change in
skin color; <0.5cm diameter
Papule - ANSWERS-Elevated, superficial lesion; <0.5cm
diameter
Plaque - ANSWERS-Elevated, superficial lesion; >0.5cm
diameter
