NSE 211 FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS 2025
wound - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ break in the continuity of
body structure, caused by violence, trauma, or surgery
to tissue bodies
ex; of acute wounds - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ surgical
incisions, traumatic wounds, lacerations, burns
ex; of chronic wounds - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ PI,
diabetic ulcers, malignant
acute wound - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ wound that
proceeds through an orderly & timely reparative
process --> sustained restoration of anatomical &
functional integrity
phases of wound healing - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ 1)
inflammatory phase
2) proliferative phase
,2|Page
3) remodelling phase
what's a part of the proliferative phase? - .....ANSWER
...✔✔ proliferation, granulation & contraction
what happens during inflammatory phase? -
.....ANSWER ...✔✔ 1) hemostasis. (vasoconstriction)
2) platelets + fibrin forms, clot formation
3) histamina, vasodilation, increased capillary
permeability, erythema, swelling & warmth
what happens day 1-3 inflammatory phase? -
.....ANSWER ...✔✔ neutrophils released to injury site,
phagocytosis of debris beings.
what happens during day 3-24 of proliferative phase? -
.....ANSWER ...✔✔ 1) granulation tissue appears in
wound
2) contraction of wound edges
3) resurfacing by epithelialization --> dermal regen.
4) vascular bed reestablished
,3|Page
what happens during day 24-2 yrs of remodelling
phase? - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ 1) collagen fibers
reorganize & remodel
2) permanent scar
3) attains 80% of original strength
Primary intention healing - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ wound
that is closed by suture or wound closers & healing
occurs by collagen synthesis; lower risk of infection, and
heals quickly w/ minimal scarring.
secondary intention healing - .....ANSWER ...✔✔
wound edges are not approximated. heals by
granulation tissue formation, wound contraction &
epithelialization.
has a prolonged phase of inflammation due to
increased time needed for phagocytosis of necrotic
tissue.
tertiary intention healing - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ wound
is left open for several days as it could be
contaminated. has an increased risk of infection, so
closure of wound is done later until risk of infection is
resolved.
, 4|Page
why is the wound kept open for tertiary healing? -
.....ANSWER ...✔✔ to allow exudate to drain, prevent
the spread of deep infection & aiding granulation.
medical asepsis - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ aka, *clean
technique*.
includes procedures used to reduce & prevent the
spread of microorganisms
ex; of medical asepsis - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ hand
washing, clean gloves, cleaning environment routinely.
ex; of surgical asepsis - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ aka
*surgical technique*.
requires more stringent techniques, *eliminating all
microorganisms*.
when do you use surgical asepsis? - .....ANSWER
...✔✔ when a patient's kin is broken, or if the nurse
performs an invasive procedure in a body cavity that is
normally free of microorganisms.
