remodeling
epithelization
2. Which of the following BEST describes the potential timeframe of the
Maturation stage of healing?
3-6 months
21 days - 2 years
1-2 years
3 months
3. What is the medical term for the separation of a suture line before the

Dehiscence
4. What is a key responsibility of nurses when facing ethical issues in
healthcare?
Performing routine assessments
, Documenting all patient interactions
Administering medications as prescribed
Advocating for the patient's best interests
5. A newly hired UAP was trained on how to insert a foley catheter and checked
off on the procedure by the nurse educator. the hospital policy states that
the UAP can insert a foley catheter if trained and certified. the nurse
delegates this task to the UAPm but the UAP states "even though i have done
this task before, im still a little unsure of myself." which action would the nurse
take?
assign the UAP less advanced skills like vital signs, bedbaths and I&O
review the procedure with the UAP and supervise the UAP doing the
skill
encourage the UAP to do the procedure since competency has been
verified
encourage the UAP to reschedule training with the education
department
6. What is the term for the bandaging technique used on cylindrical body parts
with a uniform circumference?
Figure-eight turns
Spiral turns
Recurrent turns
Circular turns
7. What condition can result from venous stasis?
Arterial ulcers
, Pressure ulcers
Infection
Venous ulcers
8. What is the first action a nurse should take if a patient with an abdominal
binder shows signs of respiratory distress?
Loosen or remove the abdominal binder
Notify the physician
Check the patient's vital signs
Administer oxygen immediately
9. Describe the purpose of using constricting turns in bandaging cylindrical
body parts.
Constricting turns help to secure the bandage and accommodate
varying circumferences of the body part.
Constricting turns are used to prevent infection in the wound.
Constricting turns are used to apply pressure to the wound.
Constricting turns are primarily for aesthetic purposes in bandaging.
10. What is the moral principle that allows a nurse to follow a patient's or family's
wishes even if they personally disagree?
Beneficence
Justice
Nonmaleficence
Autonomy
, 11. What is the primary indication of impaired gas exchange in a patient?
Reduced oxygenation of the blood
Normal lung capacity
Increased carbon dioxide levels
Improved respiratory function
12. How much oxygen can be delivered with a partial rebreather mask?
up to 15L/min
10-12L/min
5-8L/min
6-10L/min
13. Describe the relationship between venous stasis and the development of
ulcers.
Venous stasis only affects arterial health, not venous health.
Venous stasis can lead to poor blood circulation, which increases
the risk of developing venous ulcers.
Venous stasis is unrelated to ulcer formation.
Venous stasis causes an increase in oxygen delivery, preventing
ulcers.
14. Why is it important for a nurse to provide analgesic medications before
changing a dressing on a wound with a drain?
