Wound Care and Healing Quiz

Wound Care and Healing Summary

• Pressure ulcers can lead to colonization and infection of the wound and are staged from shallow skin craters to life-threatening tissue ulceration.
• Treatment may involve antibiotics, special beds, debridement, and relieving pressure to protect the wound from further trauma or contamination.
• Wound dehiscence and evisceration are nursing actions for wound separation and protrusion of abdominal organs, respectively.
• Understanding wound care dressings, sharp debridement, and prevention methods such as repositioning and maximizing nutrition is crucial.
• Factors affecting wound healing include decreased mobility, pressure, altered consciousness, and poor nutrition.
• Different types of drainage are identified by colors such as sanguinous, serosanguinous, purulent, and serous.
• Various types of wounds, including incision, laceration, abrasion, avulsion, ulceration, puncture, and contusion, require different treatment approaches.
• Abdominal binders are used after common abdominal surgery to protect incisions and sutures and reduce pain.
• Hydrotherapy creates a moist environment to accelerate healing and aid in debridement.
• Special considerations for wound healing in older adults include diminished collagen and blood supply, decreased elastin quality, and long-term exposure to ultraviolet rays.
• Definitions of first-intention, second-intention, and third-intention healing provide insight into wound closure methods and healing processes.
• Bed cradles are used to keep skin dry and prevent complications in clients lying in bed for extended periods, such as those with pressure injuries.

Oxygen Therapy and Wound Care Overview

• Types of oxygen delivery devices: nasal cannula, simple mask, non-rebreather mask, Venturi mask, each with specific indications, flow rates, and considerations for use
• Oxygen toxicity manifestations: early signs of hypoxemia (tachypnea, tachycardia) and late signs of oxygen toxicity (stupor, cyanosis)
• Incentive spirometer client education: instructions for proper use and benefits for encouraging goal-directed volume of inspired air
• Tracheostomy care nursing actions: importance of maintaining open airways, cleaning around the stoma, and changing the dressing
• Considerations for oxygen flow rate in chronic diseases and use of mechanical lift for dependent patients
• Manifestations and nursing actions for wound infections, including fever, swelling, and proper wound care
• Phases of wound repair: inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling, with specific characteristics and time frames for each phase
• Stages of pressure ulcers and corresponding nursing actions for each stage, including repositioning and debridement
• Wound dehiscence nursing actions and risks, including separation of wound layers, and the need for moist sterile dressing and provider evaluation
• Wound evisceration nursing actions: covering with warm moist sterile solution and promptly contacting the provider
• Different types of wound care dressings and their specific uses
• Explanation of sharp debridement and its application using sterile scissors for removing dead tissue in wounds
