Resource summary

Question 1

Question
Your patient has had abdominal surgery for a ruptured appendix and requires postoperative care and dressing changes. The wound has been left open, and irrigation's are ordered. When irrigating a wound, it is most important to:
Answer
  • irrigate slowly to prevent discomfort
  • ensure the solution reaches the depths of the wound
  • prevent wetting of the bed and covers
  • use vigorous irrigation flow from the syringe

Question 2

Question
If a wound appears infected, you should:
Answer
  • cleanse it with an antiseptic solution
  • obtain an order for culture to be performed
  • apply an antibiotic ointment
  • change the dressing every 2 hours

Question 3

Question
The assessment of the wound indicates healing is occurring when:
Answer
  • the center tissue is white
  • bleeding has stopped
  • there is no further drainage from the wound
  • pink granulation tissue is visible

Question 4

Question
When assessing for wound infection, you know that signs of wound infection may be:
Answer
  • a rise in temperature
  • increasingly rapid respirations
  • a WBC above 10,000/dl
  • restlessness and discomfort
  • purulent drainage
  • tenderness around the wound

Question 5

Question
When caring for a pressure ulcer, you know that:
Answer
  • eschar must usually be removed before the wound will heal
  • pink granulation tissue should be cleansed with antiseptic solution
  • keeping the wound dry and covered will aid healing
  • heat treatments hurt new tissue and slow healing

Question 6

Question
Hydrocolloid dressing are useful for open wound dressings because they:
Answer
  • keep the wound moist while blocking entry of microorganisms
  • debride the wound and soften eschar
  • supply bacteriostatic action to clean the wound
  • contain an antiseptic, allow moisture to evaporate, and protect the wound.

Question 7

Question
If you are assisting a surgical patient to the bathroom and he suddenly says, "It feels like something has given way," you would suspect that [blank_start]dehisence[blank_end] has occurred.
Answer

Question 8

Question
Proper technique for removal of sutures is to:

Question 9

Question
Heat is helpful in healing a wound because it:
Answer
  • causes constriction of blood vessels and reduces edema

  • causes vasodilation, bringing oxygen and nutrients to the injury
  • causes vasodilation, which moves blood out of the area

Question 10
