Wound Healing
A PTA observes pink, fragile tissue forming across a superficial wound surface. This phase of healing is most consistent with this finding.
What is epithelization?
A patient presents with intact skin and non-blanchable redness over the sacrum. This is known as this stage pressure injury.
What is Stage I?
A dressing derived from seaweed forms a gel when in contact with exudate is known as this type of dressing.
What is calcium alginate?
As water depth increases, this happens to weight-bearing forces.
What is decrease in weight bearing?
This is the primary goal of intermittent compression therapy.
What is to reduce edema?
A patient’s scar tissue is becoming paler and stronger over time. This is known as this phase of healing.
A wound presents with partial thickness skin loss and a red wound bed without slough. This is known as this stage of wound.
What is Stage II?
A wound requires frequent dressing changes with simple application. This is the best dressing choice for the frequent change.
What is gauze?
A patient with TTWB precautions is safest exercising at this water level.
What is cervical level?
A PTA applies a compression pump only over the visibly swollen area. This is considered incorrect due to this reason.
What is compression device should extend beyond the edematous region?
A clean surgical incision is expected to heal rapidly with minimal tissue loss. This is known as this type of healing.
What is primary intention?
A patient presents with a burn characterized by redness and intact blisters. This is known as this type of burn.
What is superficial partial thickness burn?
A Stage I pressure injury requires a dressing that allows visualization and protection. This is the most appropriate dressing.
What is transparent film?
A patient reports decreased joint loading while walking in water. This property is responsible for this effect.
What is bouyancy?
A patient with lower extremity edema and heart failure is referred for compression therapy. This is the clinical concern for this patient.
What is congestive heart failure?
A chronic wound demonstrates prolonged inflammation and delayed progression through healing phases. This is known as this type of healing.
What is secondary intention?
This tissue is classified as dry hard, black, and leathery tissue.
What is eschar?
This type of dressing is used to hydrate a dry wound and has no absorption properties.
What is hydrogel dressing?
A patient with multiple sclerosis benefits from aquatic therapy at this temperature range.
What is below 95F?
A patient is 2 days post op TKA that has limited out of bed activities. This is the best combination of devices to aid in motion and improve recovery.
What is IPC and CPM?
A clinician identifies beefy red, well-vascularized tissue in a wound bed. This is known as this type of tissue.
What is granulation tissue?
You notice a wound is painful, well-defined, and located laterally on the limb. This is known as this type of ulcer.
What is arterial ulcer?
A clinician uses a gauze dressing that removes both necrotic and viable tissue during removal. This is known as this technique.
What is wet to dry dressing?
A PTA is more concerned about a patient with lower adipose tissue or higher adipose tissue NOT floating.
What is lower adipose tissue?
This parameters of CPM are not to be adjusted without orders by MD.
What is range of motion setting?
Tissue surrounding a wound appears pale, wrinkled, and overly moist. This is known as this condition.
What is maceration?
A plantar foot wound is deep with diminished sensation. This is known as this type of ulcer.
This dressing is best for low to moderate exudate that creates a gel when it interacts with the exudate.
What is hydrocolloid dressing?
A therapist uses deeper water immersion to enhance circulation. This is the principle that improves venous return.
What is hydrostatic pressure?
This is the benefit of CPM for a post op TKA.
What is healing and joint mobility?
A selective method is used to remove necrotic tissue using topical agents. This is known as this type of debridement.
What is chemical debridement?
A patient has burns on the anterior and posterior aspect of the thorax. This is calculated to this percentage of burns.
What is 36%?
This dressing absorbs excess drainage and aids to maintain a moist environment. It can be left in place for 3-4 days.
What is semi permeable foam?
Patients with arthritis typically prefer aquatic therapy at this temperature range.
What is 98-100?
You remove a dressing from a patient and noticed the exudate is yellow and tan in color. This is classified as this type of exudate.
What is purulent?
A patient sustained a burn that includes no pain. This burn can be classified as this.
What is full thickness burn?
This dressing is recommended for ulcers that are infected and heavily colonized. This is not recommended for long term use.
What is silver impregnated dressing?
What is resisted exercise?
