What distinguishes neuropathic pain from nociceptive pain?
Neuropathic pain originates from tissue damage, while nociceptive pain results from nerve damage.

In wound healing, which phase involves the formation of new tissue and blood vessels to fill the wound area?
Granulation phase
Study Notes
Wound Assessment
- A Nurse assesses for blanching by applying pressure to the skin, and if the skin turns white, it is a sign of blanching.
Braden Scale
- The Braden Scale focuses on major risk categories, including mobility, activity, sensory perception, nutrition, friction, and shear.
Ulcers
- Venous ulcers are most often found on the lower extremities.
Wound Types
- Major types of wounds include surgical, traumatic, and chronic wounds.
Surgical Wounds
- Major complications of surgical wounds include infection, dehiscence, and delayed healing.
Infection Control
- The three main modes of transmission are contact, droplet, and airborne.
- Standard precautions used on all clients include gloving, gowning, and hand hygiene.
- Infection control bundles include bundles for central lines, ventilators, and surgical sites.
Lab Values
- The expected WBC count is 4,500-11,000 cells/mm³.
Isolation Precautions
- A client requiring airborne precautions needs a negative pressure room.
- A client requiring droplet precautions needs a mask, gloves, and gown.
Pain Management
- The four ethical principles related to pain management are autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice.
- The five types of pain scales used in hospitals are the numeric rating scale, visual analog scale, McGill pain questionnaire, faces pain scale, and brief pain inventory.
Medical Conditions
- Crohn's Disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease.
- Diverticulosis is a condition where small pouches form in the wall of the colon.
- Dysuria is painful urination.
- Types of urinary incontinence include stress, urge, and functional incontinence.
- Nocturnal Enuresis is bedwetting.
- Diverticulitis is inflammation of the diverticula.
- Ulcerative Colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease.
Pain
- Neuropathic pain is caused by nerve damage.
- Nociceptive pain is caused by tissue damage.
Therapy
- The principles of heat and cold therapy include using heat to increase blood flow and reduce pain, and using cold to decrease blood flow and reduce inflammation.
Inflammation
- The steps of inflammation include increased blood flow, increased permeability, and white blood cell migration.
