Congratulations!

True or False Acute wounds proceed through the processes involved in wound healing in an orderly and timely manner Correct Wrong

True or False Viability of tissues does not determine the course and quality of healing Correct Wrong

Name two wound healing models Correct Wrong

What are the two most common reasons for leaving a surgical wound open to heal by secondary intention? a. b. c. d. e. To allow for the wound to drain To allow for the treatment of bacterial burden To reduce the chance of scar tissue formation A+C A+B Correct Wrong

True or False Chronic wounds are those which have failed to proceed though an orderly and timely process to produce anatomic and functional integrity Correct Wrong

Name three (or four) phases of wound healing Correct Wrong

True or False The inflammatory phase typically lasts two weeks Correct Wrong

What are the typical signs/symptoms of the inflammatory phase? a. Redness b. Heat c. Swelling d. Pain e. Loss of function f. All of the above g. None of the above, these signs absolutely mean the wound is infected in this stage Correct Wrong

Which of the following are goals of the proliferative phase of wound healing (choose four)? 1. Formation of granulation tissue 2. Angiogenesis 3. Contraction 4. Epithelialization 5. Hemostasis Correct Wrong

At maximum potential, the tensile strength of a healed wound will not exceed ___% of the original tissue Correct Wrong

True or False The maturation phase starts by three weeks after injury and continues until the wound is closed at the surface Correct Wrong

Other than extrinsic factors, what are the other two categories of factors that can impede wound healing? Correct Wrong

Iatrogenic factors impairing wound healing are factors associated with: a. The underlying etiology of the wound b. Environmental influences c. Inappropriate wound management Correct Wrong

True or False As the skin ages elastin fibers increase which makes the skin more elastic Correct Wrong

People with diabetes are at higher risk of slower wound healing because of: a. Hyperglycemia b. Microvascular/neuropathic components c. All of the above Correct Wrong

Choose three factors that are considered extrinsic in nature: a. b. c. d. Medications Traumatic dressing removal Bioburden Stress Correct Wrong

Chemotherapy impairs wound healing because: a. It induces peripheral neuropathy b. It disrupts cell mitosis c. It interferes with cell DNA synthesis d. A + C e. All of the above Correct Wrong

Bioburden in a wound negatively affects wound healing as: a. Prevents epithelialization b. Contributes to the proliferation of bacteria c. All of the above Correct Wrong

True of False The longer a wound is around and the bigger a wound is, the longer it will take the wound to heal Correct Wrong

List three examples of inappropriate wound care, that could delay or prevent wound healing Correct Wrong
