GUARANTEED SUCCESS
Steroids - answer Reduce inflammatory response and slow
collagen synthesis
Cortisone - answer Depresses fibroblast activity and capillary
growth
Chemotherapy - answer Depresses bone marrow production of
white blood cells and impairs immune function
Tissue repair is negatively influenced when.. - answer hematocrit
value is below 33% and hemoglobin value below 10g/100mL
Acute wound - answer - trauma from sharp object
- easily cleaned and repaired
- wound edges cleaned and intact
Chronic wound - answer - injuries
,- Exposure to pressure, friction, and moisture impairs healing
Healing by tertiary intention can also be called.. - answer Delayed
primary intention or closure
- when sx wounds are not closed immediately but left open 3-5
days to allow edema or infection to diminish
Identify wounds that would heal with secondary intention (select
all):
a. pressure injury
b. surgical incision closed with staples
c. an open surgical wound requiring packing
d. full thickness burn - answer a. Pressure injury
c. an open surgical would requiring packing
d. full thickness burn
Which are examples of a chronic wound? (select all)
a. surgical incision
b. abrasion from a motor vehicle accident
, c. stab wound
d. peripheral vascular venous stasis injury
e. pressure injury - answer d. peripheral vascular venous stasis
injury
e. pressure injury
Primary healing - answer Healing over an injury that is evenly
closed (incision). Edges are held in close approximation; little
granulation tissue formed.
Secondary healing - answer Wounds left open and allowed to heal
by scar formation. Their is tissue loss and open wound edges.
Tertiary healing - answer Wounds intentially left open for 3-5
days to allow edema or/and infection to resolve or drain & are
then closed w/ sutures or staples (aka delayed primary healing)
Primary intention wound assessment: - answer 1. Asses location
of wound on body
2. Note wound margins. Approximated or closed together?
3. Observe drainage
4. Look for evidence of infection
