WOCN Wound Care RN Exam UPDATED
ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS
Steps to heal by Secondary Intention - Correct answers✔✔Formation of granulation tissue,
contraction of the wound bed edges, and epithelialization
Partial thickness repair - Correct answers✔✔Inflammatory response, epithelial proliferation and
migration, epidermal reestablishment and differentiation
What characterizes a chronic wound healing environment - Correct answers✔✔Low levels of
growth factors and receptor sites. They are needed to move cells out of the inflammatory phase
and into the proliferative/Rebuilding Phase
What Vitamin assists in collagen/fibroplasia formation? - Correct answers✔✔Vitamin C
Normal protein intake - Correct answers✔✔.8 g/kg/24
Protein intake for injury - Correct answers✔✔increased 1.25 - 1.5 /kg/24 hours
BMI >25 increases - Correct answers✔✔dehiscence, infection, delayed wound healing, adipose
tissue poorly perfused and heals at a slower rate
Keloid Scars are formed how? - Correct answers✔✔Overgrowth of collagen within scar tissue,
seen with pigmented skin. Trauma. May ulcerate. Genetic.
, Hypertrophic Scar are formed how? - Correct answers✔✔scar with thickened epidermal layer
contained within the original incision area. Formed from prolonged inflammatory phase.
Fast/rapid weight loss produces what type of malnutrition? - Correct answers✔✔Protein &
mixed protein malnutrition: marasmus-kwashiorkor
Marjoin ulcer - Correct answers✔✔chronic wounds in malignant wound
Candidiasis - Correct answers✔✔Pustules and satellite lesions with red base
Incontinence associated dermatitis - Correct answers✔✔blisters with red base
Radiation Dermatitis - Correct answers✔✔Grade 1: Dry desquamation (Peeling)
Grade 2: erythema, moist desquamation (partial thickness), mod edema
Grade 3: Bleeding skin
Wheal skin lesion - Correct answers✔✔Itching, burning, red, elevated, irregular
Pyoderma Gangrenosum - Correct answers✔✔Ulcer with irregular shape and violaceous (purple)
raised edges. Sharp debridement is contraindicated.
Calciphylaxix - Correct answers✔✔Calcific uremic arteriolopathy elevated calcium/phosphate.
Dialysis. may present similar to Pyoderma. Aggressive sharp debridement for necrotic tissue.
Partial thickness wound - Correct answers✔✔shallow ,.2 cm, moist, pink/red wound base,
exposure of basement membrane and of nerve endings. Epidermal/Dermal Loss
