Chapter 1: Attacking the Basics: What Fuels a Wound
1. A nurse is planning care related to Chapter 'Attacking the Basics: What
Fuels a Wound'. Which action best reflects the assessment priority when the
goal is wound-bed optimization?
A. Prioritize a structured, patient-centered plan that addresses attacking the basics:
what fuels a wound while using current assessment data and timely reassessment.
B. Delay intervention until all possible secondary concerns are clarified, even if
priority findings are already present.
C. Use a routine approach that is unrelated to the patient’s current presentation so
care remains standardized.
D. Focus documentation on completed tasks only and omit the response to
interventions until the end of the shift.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: This option is best because it integrates assessment, intervention, and
evaluation in a way that is directly tied to attacking the basics: what fuels a wound.
A structured, patient-centered response supports safer decisions, earlier detection
of deterioration, and clearer communication with the team. The other options are
weaker because they either delay needed care, ignore individualized findings, or
separate documentation from clinical reasoning. High-quality nursing care in this
content area depends on linking observed cues to prompt action and then
reassessing whether the chosen strategy improved outcomes.
