1. Intermittent claudication leg pain is characterized as pain that occurs:
With activity and is relieved by rest.
2. As you examine a patient's lower extremity you observe a thin leg with dry skin
and very little hair; the ABI is 0.5. From this data, what condition would you assess
to be present?
Arterial insufficiency.
3. Which of the following statements about inelastic compression bandages is
accurate?
They are only effective in the ambulatory patient.
4. What is Mrs. Lang's foot deformity called when there is a rocker bottom
appearance to her foot?
Charcot's joint.
5. Which of the following statements about contact casting is correct?
The contact cast redistributes the weight of the diabetic foot.
6. Mrs. Anderson has dependent rubor and elevation pallor of her right lower
extremity. The systolic pressure in her R. arm is 170 mmHg; L arm is 165 mmHg, R.
dorsal pedis systolic pressure was 100 mmHg and the posterior tibial pressure
,was 95 mmHg. What is Mrs. Anderson's ABI for the RLE?
0.59 ( = 0.588 rounded to 0.59)
7. An ambulatory patient with insulin dependent diabetes has an ulcer located on
the plantar surface of the left foot over the third metatarsal head. The ulcer is 1
cm in diameter, with a dry red surface. The patient denies any pain in the ulcer.
What type of wound does this most likely represent?
Neuropathic Ulcer.
8. Which of the following assessments is most indicative of an arterial ulcer?
An ABI of 0.7.
9. Which of the following statements is TRUE? Venous dermatitis:
Results in erythema, crusting, scaling skin of the leg.
10. A patient presents with a wound on the medial malleolus that is shallow,
irregularly shaped, and has moderate to heavy exudate. The surrounding skin is
hyperpigmented and edematous. This wound is most likely:
Venous leg ulcer.
11. What is the most important intervention to prevent recurrence of a venous
leg ulcer?
Compression therapy (e.g., 30-40 mmHg compression stockings).
12. A diabetic patient has a deep, punched-out ulcer on the plantar aspect of the
great toe with no bleeding on debridement. The surrounding skin is callused. This
is most consistent with:
Neuropathic ulcer.
, 13. Which Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) value is consistent with moderate peripheral
arterial disease?
0.5 – 0.7.
14. A patient with a non-healing wound on the heel has an ABI >1.3. What
condition should you suspect?
Medial arterial calcification (non-compressible vessels, often in diabetes or
renal disease).
15. The term “lipodermatosclerosis” refers to:
Fibrosis and induration of the subcutaneous tissue of the lower leg due to
chronic venous insufficiency.
16. What is the most common location for an arterial ulcer?
Distal digits, heels, or bony prominences (e.g., tips of toes, lateral malleolus).
17. A patient with a pressure injury on the sacrum has full-thickness skin loss with
visible subcutaneous fat but no muscle or bone exposed. What is the correct
Stage?
Stage 3 pressure injury.
18. Which laboratory value is the most sensitive for assessing malnutrition in a
patient with a chronic wound?
Prealbumin.
19. What is the primary goal of applying a moisture-retentive dressing (e.g.,
hydrocolloid, foam) to a wound?
To maintain a moist wound environment to promote granulation and
epithelialization.
