Wound Care WCC Practice Exam And
Answers.
The skin is comprised of two layers, the epidermis and the dermis. Each layer consists
of numerous cells. Which cells would you find in the dermis? -
\Macrophage, Fibroblast, Mast Cells
The dermis is made up of proteins, i.e. collagen and elastin. These two proteins are
responsible for: -
\Giving skin tensile strength and providing the skin with elastic recoil
Red blood cells also known as erythrocytes are the most abundant cells in the blood.
They account for 40-45% of the blood. The % of blood made up of RBC's is measured
by a lab known as -
\Hematocrit
Stem cells produce a protein that makes red blood cells look red and gives them the
ability to transport oxygen. What is this protein called? -
\Hemoglobin
WBC produce protein that makes RBC look red and gives them the ability to transport
oxygen. What is this protein called? -
\Neutrophil
Assessment and documentation of a skin lesion should include location, sensation,
duration, morphology, and configuration. What is configuration? -
\shape or outline
Dermatomal corresponding to nerve root distribution is -
\zosteriform
To assess pain with non-verbal cognitively impaired patients or non-English speaking
patients, it is recommended to use -
\Wong Baker Faces Pain rating scale
Pain quantification would include: -
\intensity, location, quality, onset, duration, aggravating, alleviating factors

T/F- As we age, the basement membrane between the dermis and epidermis flattens
out. -
\True
Circular, free fluid filled, greater than 1 cm -
\Bulla
Superficial, solid, less than 1 cm, color varies. -
\Papule
Circular, free fluid filled, up to 1 cm -
\Vesicle
Linear erosion; destruction of skin by mechanical means -
\Excoriation
Loss of epidermis; caused by exposure to body fluids -
\Denuded
Smaller red macules located adjacent to the body of main lesions -
\Satellite lesions
Change in color of skin, circular flat discoloration, less than 1 cm -
