EMORY WOUND EXAM [BRAND NEW]
The WCN is assessing a patient whose wounds were caused by external factors.
Which of the following is an example of this type of injury? (17)
A. Pressure Injury
B. Venous Leg Ulcer
C. Eczema
D. Malignant Wound - ANSWER-A -- Mechanical factors include friction, shear,
pressure and moisture
What is the best descriptor of tissue damage caused by sheer strain? (17)
A. Superficial skin loss caused by separation of epidermal and dermal layers
B. Tissue compression caused by sustained pressure
,C. Edema caused by impaired lymphatic function resulting from unrelieved
pressure
D. SQ tissue damaged by distortion of blood vessels - ANSWER-D -- shear strain
disrupts BVs from deeper structures and causes DTI as occurs with PIs
Which type of wounds develop at the muscle-bone interface? (17)
A. Friction wounds
B. Pressure injuries
C. Incontinence wounds
D. Wounds caused by intertriginous dermatitis - ANSWER-B -- shear strain
disrupts BVs from deeper structures and causes DTI as occurs with PIs
What is the initial effect of sustained pressure on a body part? (17)
A. Tissue necrosis
B. Tissue loss
C. Tissue deformation
D. Tissue remodeling - ANSWER-C -- PIs are most likely to occur over bony
prominences or under medical devices where soft tissue breaks down more readily
What is the driving force for the collection of data regarding facility-acquired PIs?
(17)
A. Patient satisfaction
B. Quality indicators
C. Infection control
, D. Minimizing staff workload - ANSWER-B -- benchmarking of facility acquired
PI rates reflects quality of care and identifies opportunities to improve care
Which statement accurately describes an assumptions WCNs can use when
differentiating pressure wounds from non-pressure wounds? (17)
A. Current evidence indicates that most pressure wounds develop at the muscle-
bone interface
B. Most pressure/shear wounds are partial-thickness wounds that exhibit evidence
of ischemic damage
C. Most non-pressure wounds present as superficial wounds with evidence of
friction and tissue ischemia
D. Diagnostic tools and imaging technology are readily available for use by
clinicians in all care settings - ANSWER-A -- PIs are usually full thickness bc
damage usually begins at muscle-bone interface
Which assessment parameter is of greatest value to differential assessment of
wounds? (17)
A. Indicators of pressure vs indicators of maceration or friction
B. Wound size
C. Type of eschar involved
D. Indicators of infected vs noninfected wounds - ANSWER-A -- what is the
source of the injury?
Which condition might the WCN observe as an indicator of pressure injury? (17)
A. Maceration of surrounding tissue
