Wound care & healing

100

This first phase of wound healing controls bleeding after injury.

hemostasis

200

This phase of wound healing begins around day 3 and is characterized by granulation tissue formation.

proliferation

300

This final phase of wound healing may result in scar formation

tissue remodeling

400

This substance in cigarettes delays wound healing by causing vasoconstriction.

nicotine

500

This nutritional deficiency commonly impairs wound healing in older adults.

low protein levels

Pressure Injury

100

This pressure injury stage involves full-thickness skin loss with visible subcutaneous fat.

stage 3 pressure injury

200

These critically ill clients are at especially high risk for moisture-associated skin damage because of immobility and incontinence.

ICU/Comatose patients

300

This pressure injury stage exposes bone, tendon, or muscle

Stage 4

400

A blister or shallow open ulcer is characteristic of this pressure injury stage

stage 2 pressure injury

500

• This pressure injury stage presents with non-blanchable erythema of intact skin.

stage 1

Burns & Emergency Care

100

1. This type of burn often causes significant hidden tissue damage despite small surface wounds.

Electrical burn

200

Fires occurring in these settings pose a particularly high risk for inhalation injury.

enclosed spaces

300

This burn is characterized by reddened skin without blistering.

1st degree

400

This intervention is the priority for gasoline or chemical burns before further treatment.

decontamination

500

This intervention is the priority for gasoline or chemical burns before further treatment.

decontamination

Wounds 2.0

100

During the inflammatory phase of wound healing, this blood component is delivered to the wound in increased amounts.

WBCs

200

This tissue fills the wound bed during the proliferative phase.

granulation tissue

300

This assessment finding is expected during the inflammatory phase due to increased blood flow.

warmth

400

This effect of nicotine directly impairs tissue repair.

reduced blood flow (vasoconstriction)

500

This chronic disease delays wound healing because of impaired circulation and tissue perfusion.

Diabetes Mellitus

Hodge podge

100

1. This diagnostic test identifies whether a wound infection is bacterial and helps determine which antibiotic will be most effective.

wound culture

200

This measurement is the primary quantitative indicator that fluid resuscitation is effective during the acute burn phase.

urine output > 0.5 mL/kg/hr

300

When explaining the need for a wound culture, the nurse should emphasize this purpose.

targeted ATB selection

400

Burns involving these body areas require immediate assessment for airway compromise.

head, neck, chest

500

This finding is commonly present in extremities affected by arterial ulcers.

hairless, cool skin

Bone Physiology

100

1. This hormone is the primary stimulant for bone growth during childhood.

Human growth hormone

200

This disease is characterized by loss of bone density in both cortical and cancellous bone.

osteoporosis

300

This spinal deformity commonly develops from vertebral osteoporosis.

Kyphosis

400

This assessment finding is commonly associated with osteoarthritis.

crepitus

500

These fractures commonly occur from repetitive overuse in athletes and gymnasts.

stress fractures

Fractures & Mobility

100

1. These traction components must always hang freely and should never be removed without a prescription.

traction weights

200

Before medicating a client experiencing muscle spasms in traction, the nurse should first perform this intervention

realign the client’s position

300

This syndrome is a major complication associated with long-bone fractures such as femur fractures.

fat embolism syndrome

400

This is the priority intervention for fat embolism syndrome

high flow O2

500

This emergency occurs when pressure rises within a confined fascial space, causing ischemia.

acute compartment syndrome
