fibroblast - ANS ✔✔The cell responsible for building new granulation tissue
keratinocytes - ANS ✔✔Cells involved in epithelialization
macrophages and polymorphonuclear neutrophils - ANS ✔✔Cells which can kill bacteria
lightly fill the wound base with gauze to prevent premature epithelialization - ANS ✔✔To assist
with managing a wound that is hypogranular:
high levels of MMPs and low levels of TIMPs - ANS ✔✔Chronic wounds contain
insufficient collagen tensile strength - ANS ✔✔Surgical wound dehiscence is most often due to:
secondary wound closure - ANS ✔✔A severely contaminated wound should be allowed to close
by:
Integrins - ANS ✔✔cell surface receptors that allow cells to reversibly bind to the extracellular
matrix to achieve cell migration
80% - ANS ✔✔The maximum strength that a scar tissue can attain after the occurrence of
remodeling is:
six months to two years. - ANS ✔✔The maturation and remodeling phase of wound healing
typically lasts for:
,fibroblasts - ANS ✔✔Cells that can be found in the dermis are:
epidermis - ANS ✔✔The stratum corneum can be found in the:
epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue - ANS ✔✔A full-thickness wound involves the
following tissue layers:
partial-thickness - ANS ✔✔A stage 2 pressure injury can also be described as a ________ lesion.
False - ANS ✔✔A callus is caused by a build-up of cells within the stratum basale.
histamine - ANS ✔✔Mast cells produce the following substance:
Nonviable joint capsule - ANS ✔✔When examining a patient's wound, you notice gray-black,
dry, leathery-appearing, irregular fibrous tissue. What do you suspect this structure is?
Muscle - ANS ✔✔When examining a patient's wound, you notice regularly arranged red tissue.
What do you suspect this structure is?
adipose tissue and fascia - ANS ✔✔The subcutaneous tissue consists of:
faster - ANS ✔✔Partial-thickness wounds heal ___ than full-thickness wounds
warm - ANS ✔✔Wounds should heal faster if both the patient and the patient's wound are kept
___.
faster - ANS ✔✔Surgical wounds heal ___ than traumatic wounds
,True - ANS ✔✔Change in wound surface area can be used to predict wound healing.
slowly - ANS ✔✔Covering a wound with a dressing facilitates wound healing because a dry
wound progresses through the phases of inflammation more ___ than a moist wound.
barriers - ANS ✔✔Serial debridement facilitates wound healing by removing ___ to healing
False - ANS ✔✔Wound debridement is vital to wound healing and should be completed despite
a patient's pain complaint.
granulation - ANS ✔✔Wet-to-dry dressings impair wound healing by traumatizing healthy ___
tissue
surgical scrubs - ANS ✔✔Antiseptics should routinely be used as:
Undermining - ANS ✔✔occurs when the tissue under the wound edges becomes eroded
slough - ANS ✔✔Necrotic tissue that is yellow or tan in color and stringy or mucinous in
consistency is called:
thin, yellow - ANS ✔✔Which of the following types of wound drainage would be considered
normal? Drainage that is ___ in consistency and pale ___ in color.
infection, inflammation - ANS ✔✔Periwound erythema can be a sign of ___ and a normal sign
of ___.
, 2+ pitting edema - ANS ✔✔When assessing for periwound edema, your thumb leaves an
impression about 2-4 mm in depth that rebounds in less than 15 seconds. How would you
describe your results?
+1 pitting edema - ANS ✔✔2mm slight pitting
Disappears QUICKLY
No visible distortion
+3 pitting edema - ANS ✔✔Deep pitting, indentation remains for a short time (<1 min).
+4 pitting edema - ANS ✔✔Very deep pitting, indentation lasts beyond a few seconds (2-3 min).
Swelling is excessive, skin may appear blistered, oozing of fluid may occur.
+2 - ANS ✔✔When palpating your patient's tibialis posterior artery pulse, you feel it is normal.
What grade would you assign it?
3 seconds - ANS ✔✔Normal capillary refill is:
specific, time dependent, and measurable - ANS ✔✔Wound-related goals should be:
the staging system and/or extent of tissue involved - ANS ✔✔A pressure injury should be
classified using:
visualized - ANS ✔✔Contraindications for sharp debridement? Areas that cannot be adequately
___.
debridement - ANS ✔✔Surgical debridement is indicated for all of the following EXCEPT: when
another form of ___ will suffice.
