Chapter 1: The Wound Care Process
1. A nurse is planning care related to Chapter 'The Wound Care Process'.
Which action best reflects the assessment priority when the goal is wound-bed
optimization?
A. Prioritize a structured, patient-centered plan that addresses the wound care
process 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 the wound care process. 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.
