Pressure Injury
These treatments are recommended for deep tissue pressure injuries
What are pressure relief, NCLF US, foam dressings, and management of moisture?
A burn to this location would likely result in a cervical flexion contracture.
What is the anterior neck?
This stage of lymphedema is marked by asymmetrical edema that decreases with elevation.
What is stage 1?
This type of drainage is thick, yellow, and often has odor present.
What is purulent drainage?
This type of cancer has the highest death rate but is very rare.
What is Merkel Cell Ca?
What is Stage 3
This type of graft requires application of the entire layer of skin with re-anastomoses of host/graft vessels.
What is a full thickness/flap graft?
In third-world countries, this type of lymphedema is caused by filariasis infection.
What is secondary lymphedema?
These are often documented as attached or unattached, defined or undefined.
What are wound edges?
This green mesh antimicrobial dressing was designed to attract biofilm to the surface of the dressing.
What is Dialkylcarbamoylchloride (DACC)?
These skin assessment scales are most commonly used to assess risk for pressure injury.
What are the Norton and Braden Scales?
In a 23 y.o female, a burn to the entire left arm and posterior trunk/back includes this percentage of TBSA.
What is 27%?
This term refers to the rate of contraction of the lymphatic collectors.
What is lymphangiomotoricity?
This description is used when the skin around a wound is warm, painful, and hard to touch.
What is induration?
A violaceous border is associated with this atypical wound diagnosis.
What is pyoderma gangrenosum?
Wound closure is often achieved with this technique which uses wound contraction, control of edema, improving blood flow, and controlling infection using this
What is Negative Pressure Wound Therapy
What are compression garments?
These compression bandages are characterized by a high working pressure and low resting pressure?
What are short-stretch compression bandages?
After wrapping a patient who has LE edema with compression for a few days, the patient reports feeling short of breath. You should contact the physician with this concern.
What is heart failure/fluid overload?
This polarity is used during Estim to promote epithelial migration.
What is positive polarity?
This type of wheelchair cushion shapes the load appropriately, but is heavy, expensive, and loses performance over time
What is a gel cushion?
This type of wound should be considered when a wound develops in the scar tissue 15 years after a burn has healed.
What is an atypical wound...specifically squamous cell cancer?
This exercise promotes a negative pressure within the lymphatic system to improve the flow of fluid.
What is diaphragmatic breathing?
These are the 13 categories in the Bates Jensen Wound Assessment tool.
What are size, depth, edges, undermining, necrotic tissue type, necrotic tissue amount, exudate type, exudate amount, skin color surrounding wound, peripheral tissue edema, peripheral tissue induration, granulation tissue, and epithelialization?
When assessing ABI, this range should be treated with caution when considering debridement and compression, and a vascular surgeon should be consulted.
What is 0.6 to 0.8?
