WOUND
Maximize your success with this Emory Wound Exam 1, designed
to assess foundational knowledge in wound care management.
It focuses on wound assessment, healing processes, infection
control, and treatment strategies. The exam strengthens clinical
understanding of effective wound care practices. Suitable for
nursing and healthcare students preparing for wound care
exams.
The best support surface for him is:
A. CLP with low air loss feature
B. CLP: 4" high density foam overlay
C. Bariatric surface with reduced friction/shear surface
covering
D. Alternating pressure (AP) surface ✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER
....... A - This patient has moisture, nutrition, activity,
and mobility issues which places him at high risk for
, Page 2 of 34
breakdown. The head of bed will likely be raised to help
improve his respiratory function, causing increased pressure
and potential for friction/shear to the sacro-coccygeal area.
Utilizing the subscales of the Braden Risk Assessment Tool
will help in determining the correct support surface. In this
patient the moisture subscale score indicates a need for low
air loss.
R.H. was admitted to a long term acute care (LTAC) hospital.
Admission Diagnosis & Status: Chronic Obstructive
Pulmonary Disease (COPD) with gram+ bacteremia.
Nine (9) days after admission, he developed respiratory
failure; was intubated; placed on mechanical ventilation and
a Propofol infusion for sedation. Three days later his
assessment reveals generalized edema, and 2 new stage 2
pressure injuries on the sacrum and right scapula. His
Braden score is now 9 with a moisture subscale score of 2.
What is the best support surface for his needs?
A. CLP: 4" high density foam overlay
B. Alternating pressure (AP) surface

C. CLP with air fluidized feature
D. CLP with low air loss feature ✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER .......
D - Technically he has only one turning surface affected, but
he is at high risk for sacro-coccygeal skin breakdown due to
the poor respiratory status--indicating the need for a higher
level of support. PEG placement and tube feedings will
require head of bed elevation as well. Given the vent and
paralytic medications, his ability to acknowledge/
participate in position changes is compromised. His risk for
heel ulcer development is high as well. Floating the heels off
of all surfaces is a high priority for his care as well.
L.M. is a 51 year old male patient with COPD, CHF, Type II
Diabetes (poorly controlled), diabetic neuropathy, controlled
atrial fib, and 50 year pack history.
He has bilateral foot ulcers which are being managed with
Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT); heel elevation
boots are being used consistently.
L.M. has no other skin breakdown at this time. Braden score
= 17. He is on a constant low pressure (CLP) pressure
redistributing foam hospital mattress.
What is your evaluation of this surface?

A. He should be placed on an alternating pressure surface.
B. He needs a surface with low air loss feature for his bed but
not his chair.
C. He needs surfaces with a low air loss feature for his
wheelchair and his bed.
D. He is on the appropriate pressure redistribution surface.
✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER ....... D
K.L. is a 38 year old male paraplegic due to a motor vehicle
accident 2 years ago. He has a history of muscle flap for
Stage 4 pressure injury to sacrum. His BMI is 38; his weight is
360 pounds.
- on a gel type wheelchair cushion in his wheelchair
- requires assistance with transfers to wheelchair using a
sliding board
- stays in his wheelchair about 14 hours per day
- nutritional status is adequate.
- has a deep tissue pressure injury (DTPI) on his left posterior
heel; it is improving with consistent elevation.
- Uses pillows to float the left heel when he's in bed.
