Nurs 102 Quiz 4 Prep Questions With
Verified Answers
Definition:
prevents contamination of an open wound, serves to isolate an operative or
procedural area from an unsterile environment, and maintains a sterile field for
surgery or procedural intervention - ANSWER Surgical Asepsis
In what situations would you use aseptic technique? - ANSWER - During
procedures that require intentional perforation of the patient's skin
- When the integrity of the skin is broken as a result of trauma, surgical incision,
or burns
- During invasive procedures, such as the insertion of a urinary catheter
Definition:
An area free of microorganisms and prepared to receive sterile items -
ANSWER Sterile field
When you are pouring a liquid into a receiving container located within a sterile
field, what direction should the label of the solution be facing and why? -
ANSWER Should be facing the pal of your hand as to avoid the label becoming
wet and illegible.
What are the factors that impair or promote normal wound healing? - ANSWER -
Nutrition
- Perfusion
-Infection
- Age
- Psychosocial impact of wounds
What are the two different types of wound healing? - ANSWER Partial and Full
thickness
Wound Repair Type:
wounds that are shallow, involving loss of epidermis and possible loss of dermis.
The wound heals by regeneration because the epidermis regenerates. -
ANSWER Partial thickness
Wound Repair Type:
, Extends into the dermis and heal by scar formation because deeper structures
do not regenerate - ANSWER Full Thickness
Wound Repair Type:
Contains three components of repair which include Inflammatory response,
epithelial proliferation and migration, and reestablishment of the epidermal layer
- ANSWER Partial thickness
Wound Repair Type:
Contains four components of repair which include hemostasis, inflammatory
phase, proliferative phase, and maturation phase - ANSWER Full thickness
Wound Repair Phase:
A series of physiological events designed to control blood loss, establish
bacterial control, and seal the defect. During this phase, blood vessels
constrict, and platelets gather to stop the bleeding - ANSWER Hemostasis
Wound Repair Phase:
Damaged tissue and mast cells secrete histamine, resulting in vasodilation of
surrounding capillaries and movement/migration of serum and while blood cells
into the damaged tissue. - ANSWER Inflammatory Phase
Wound Repair Phase:
This phase begins and lasts from 3 to 24 days. The main activities of this phase
are the filling of a wound with granulation tissue, wound contraction, and wound
resurfacing by epithelialization. - ANSWER Proliferation Phase
Wound Repair Phase:
The final stage of healing sometimes takes place for more than a year. During
this phase, a collagen scar continues to reorganize and gain strength for several
months. - ANSWER Maturation Phase
Definition:
A wound with approximated or closed edges and has a low risk of infection.
Healing occurs quickly with minimal scarring as long as infection and secondary
breakdown are prevented - ANSWER Primary intention
Definition:
A wound that is left open until it becomes filled by scar tissue. This takes longer
for the wound to heal and the change of infection is greater. Scarring from this
method is severe and loss of tissue function is often permanent. - ANSWER
Secondary Intention
The nurse is preparing to perform a sterile procedure for a patient. Which action
will best minimize the risk of infection during the procedure?
a. Administer a prophylactic antibiotic before the procedure, as prescribed
