EMORY WOUND CARE TEST #2 NEWEST ACTUAL
2025/2026 WITH COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS.VERIFED/GRADED A+
name two types of skin repair - (ANSWER)Regeneration and scar formation
Primary intention healing - (ANSWER)tissue surfaces are approximated (surgery)
and there is minimal or no tissue loss, formation of minimal granulation tissue
and scarring
Secondary intention healing - (ANSWER)can be caused by pressure injury or
dehisced wound, healing can be delayed/prolonged
increased risk of infection due to open wound
variable amounts of scar tissue
Tertiary intention healing - (ANSWER)Wound left intentionally open
Scarless Healing - (ANSWER)Fetal repair
Definition of partial thickness repair - (ANSWER)loss of epidermis and part of
dermis with deep dermal structures intact
description of partial thickness wound - (ANSWER)pink, pale, islets of epithelium,
painful
, 2
repair process of partial thickness wounds - (ANSWER)brief inflammation,
epithelial resurfacing, change from red/wet to pink/dry
what factors effect partial thickness wound repair? - (ANSWER)needs moist
wound environment, low bacterial loads, normal glucose, normal amounts of
MMP
Full thickness wound definition - (ANSWER)total loss of skin layers extending into
bone, muscle or subcutaneous tissue
what are the 3 major phases of full thickness wound repair -
(ANSWER)inflammation, proliferative, maturation
How long does wound inflammatory phase last? - (ANSWER)1-4 days
What does hemostasis do in wounds? - (ANSWER)causes platelets to form, then
platelets provide scaffolding for cells. platelets also cause release of growth factor
how long does the inflammatory stage last? - (ANSWER)3 days
what are the factors that can affect or prolong inflammation stage? -
(ANSWER)high bacterial loads, ischemia, devitalized tissue, hyperglycemia, levels
of pro-inflammatory cytokines
