FOUNDATION OF NURSING 9 EXAM SCRIPT
2026 COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS
◉ psoriasis. Answer: common skin condition that speeds up the life
cycle of skin cells, cells build up rapidly on surface of skin and extra
skin cells form scales and red patches that are itchy and sometimes
painful; chronic, comes and goes
◉ wound. Answer: a break or disruption in the normal integrity of
the skin and tissues
◉ intentional wound. Answer: the result of planned invasive therapy
or treatment ex. surgery, intravenous procedure
◉ unintentional wound. Answer: are accidental; occur from
unexpected trauma
◉ open wound. Answer: occurs from intentional and unintentional
trauma; skin surface is broken, providing a portal of entry for
microorganisms
,◉ closed wound. Answer: results from a blow, force, or strain caused
by trauma such as a fall, an assault, or motor vehicle crash
◉ acute wound. Answer: usually heal within days to weeks
◉ chronic wound. Answer: do not progress through stages of
healing; healing impeded
◉ albumin normal lab values. Answer: 3.5-5
◉ vitamin c and zinc. Answer: important in wound healing
◉ phases of wound healing. Answer: -hemostasis-vessels constrict
and clotting begins
-inflammatory-white blood cells move to wound
-proliferation-granulation tissue is formed
-maturation-collagen is remodeled, forms scar
◉ hemostasis. Answer: occurs immediately after intial injury, blood
vessels constrict and clotting begins, exudate(drainage) forms and
causes swelling and pain, increased perfusion results in heat and
redness, platelets stimulate other cells to migrate to injury to
participate in phases of healing
, ◉ inflammatory phase. Answer: follows hemostasis and lasts 4-6
days, white blood cells move to wound, macrophages enter wound
and remain extended time, they ingest debris and release growth
factors, pt has generalized body repsonse
◉ proliferation phase. Answer: begins 2-3 days of injury and may
last up to 2-3 weeks, new tissue is built to fill wound space through
action of fibroblasts, capillaries grow across wound, thin layer of
epithelial cells form across wound, granulation tissue forms a
foundation for scar tissue to develop
◉ maturation phase. Answer: final stage of healing, begins 3 weeks
to 6 months after injury, collagen remodeled, new collagen tissue is
deposited, scar becomes thin white line
◉ desiccation. Answer: dehydration
◉ maceration. Answer: overhydration
◉ trauma. Answer: physical injury
◉ edema. Answer: swelling caused by excess fluid trapped in your
body's tissues
