ex: wounds that are contaminated and require observation for signs of inflammation
closure of wound is delayed until risk of infection is resolved
complications of wound healing - CORRECT ANSWER-hemorrhage, infection, dehiscence,
evisceration
prediction and prevention of pressure injuries - CORRECT ANSWER-risk assessment, economic
consequences of pressure injuries
braden risk assessment scale - CORRECT ANSWER-pressure injury risk assessment
6 subscales: sensory perception, moisture, activity, mobility, nutrition, friction/shear
,factors influencing pressure injury formation and wound healing - CORRECT ANSWER-nutrition,
tissue perfusion, infection, age, psychosocial impact of wounds
implementation for risk of pressure injuries - CORRECT ANSWER-nutrition, topical skin care and
incontinence management, positioning, support surfaces
implementing acute wound care - CORRECT ANSWER-comfort measures, cleaning skin and drain
sites, basic skin cleaning, irrigation, skin closures, drainage evacuation, bandages, binders,
slings, heat and cold therapy
abrasion - CORRECT ANSWER-superficial with little bleeding and is considered a partial-
thickness wound
often appears "weepy" because of plasma leakage from damaged capillaries
approximated - CORRECT ANSWER-closed wound edges
risk of infection is low
blanchable hyperemia - CORRECT ANSWER-erythema that blanches
transient and is an attempt to overcome the ischemic episode
blanching - CORRECT ANSWER-when the normal red tones of the light-skinned patient are
absent
debridement - CORRECT ANSWER-the removal of nonviable, necrotic tissue
,necessary to rid the wound of a source of infection, enable visualization of the wound bed, and
provide a clean base necessary for healing
dehiscence - CORRECT ANSWER-partial or total separation of wound layers
epithelialization - CORRECT ANSWER-wound resurfacing
part of proliferation
eschar - CORRECT ANSWER-black, brown, tan, or necrotic tissue
evisceration - CORRECT ANSWER-protrusion of visceral organs through a wound opening
exudate - CORRECT ANSWER-fluid from wound
excessive = infection
fluctuance - CORRECT ANSWER-soft, boggy feeling when tissue is palpated; usually a sign of
tissue infection
friction - CORRECT ANSWER-effects of rubbing or the resistance that a moving body meets from
the surface on which it moves; a force that occurs in a direction to oppose movement
granulation tissue - CORRECT ANSWER-red, moist tissue composed of new blood vessels
indicated progression toward healing
, hemostasis - CORRECT ANSWER-involves a series of physiological events designed to control
blood loss, establish bacterial control, and seal the defect that occurs when there is an injury
injured blood vessels constrict and platelets gather to stop bleeding
induration - CORRECT ANSWER-hardening of a tissue, particularly the skin, because of edema or
inflammation
laceration - CORRECT ANSWER-torn, jagged wound
negative-pressure wound therapy - CORRECT ANSWER-the application of subatmospheric
(negative) pressure to a wound through suction to facilitate healing and collect wound fluid
nonblanchable erythema - CORRECT ANSWER-if the erythematuous area does not blanch
deep tissue damage is probable
pressure injury - CORRECT ANSWER-impaired skin integrity related to unrelieved, prolonged
pressure
pressure ulcer, decubitus ulcer, bedsore
puncture wound - CORRECT ANSWER-bleed in relation to the depth, size, and location of the
wound
purulent - CORRECT ANSWER-thick, yellow, green, tan, or brown wound drainage
reactive hyperemia - CORRECT ANSWER-increase in blood flow following arterial occlusion
