Module 4 questions
1. Match the nutrients needed for wound healing with the appropriate
response.
Vitamins- Important micronutrients for the healing process
Proteins- Often lost in excretion of wound exudate

prostaglandins
Carbohydrates- Help fuel the body and increase hormone and
growth factor secretion
