NU 310 EXAM REVIEW QUESTIONS WITH
ACCURATE SOLUTIONS 2026
▶ second intention healing. Answer: injury and inflammation
granulation tissue and epithelial growth
large scar remains
▶ scar formation complications. Answer: - loss of function: results of loss
of normal cells and specialized structures (hair follicles, nerves, receptors)
- contractures and obstructions: scar tissue is non-elastic and can restrict
range of movement
- adhesions: bands of scar tissue joining two surfaces that are normally
separated
▶ hypertrophic scar tissue. Answer: - overgrowth of fibrous tissue
- leads to hard ridges of scar tissue or keloid formation
▶ ulceration. Answer: - blood supply may be impaired around scar
- results in further tissue breakdown and ulceration at a future time
▶ burns. Answer: a thermal (flames or hot fluid) or non-thermal
(chemicals, radiation, electric shock) injury to the body causing acute
inflammation
▶ the rule of nines. Answer: - BSA (body surface area)
- a method of rapid calculation
arm = 9%
leg = 18%
anterior trunk = 18%
posterior trunk = 18%
groin = 1%
▶ first degree burns. Answer: - superficial, partial thickness
- epidermis and part of dermis
- little to no blister
