Q

neutrophils are ___

A

new white blood cells

28
Q

neutrophils and macrophages remove pathogens by ____

A

phagocytosis

29
Q

vascular response is ___

A

increased capillary permeability, fluid moves into tissue spaces

30
Q

result of vascular response:

A

redness, heat, and swelling at site of injury and surrounding area

31
Q

_____ is activated to fibrin, which strengthens the blood clot, prevents spread of bacteria

A

fibrinogen

32
Q

cellular response is ____

A

neutrophils and monocytes move through capillary wall and accumulate at site of injury

33
Q

local response to inflammation

A

redness, heat, pain, swelling, loss of function

34
Q

serous is

A

clear, watery plasma

35
Q

purulent

A

is thick, yellow, green, tan, or brown- concerning**

36
Q

serosanguineous

A

pale, red, watery: mixture of serous and sanguineous

37
Q

sanguineous

A

bright red; indicates active bleeding

38
Q

clinical manifestations for systemic response to inflammation:

A

increased WBC count, malaise (lethargic), N/V, increased pulse and respiratory rate, fever

39
Q

types of inflammation: acute

A

healing in 2-3 weeks, no residual damage; neutrophils predominant cell type at site

40
Q

types of inflammation: subacute

A

same features, but lasts longer

41
Q

types of inflammation: chronic

A

may last for years, injurious agent persists or repeats injury to site, predominant cell types are lymphocytes and macrophages, may result from changes in immune system

42
Q

wound healing: regeneration

A

replacement of lost cells and tissues with cells of the same type

43
Q

wound healing: repair

A

healing as a result of lost cells being replaced by connective tissue, results in scar formation - more common, more complex, occurs by primary, secondary, or tertiary intention

44
Q

healing by primary intention: 3 phases

A

initial phase (3-5 days), granulation phase, maturation phase and scar is formed (7 days after)

45
Q

healing by secondary intention:

A

wounds from trauma, ulceration, and infection have large amounts of exudate and wide, irregular wound margins with extensive tissue loss; edges can be approximated, same healing process but may need debriding

46
Q

healing by tertiary intention:

A

delayed primary intention due to delayed suturing of wound, occurs when a contaminated wound is left open and sutured closed after infection is controlled.

47
Q

factors that would influence wound healing:

A

protein, vitamins (esp. A & C), trace minerals of zinc & copper, adequate calories, tissue perfusion

48
Q

hemorrhage

A

bleeding

49
Q

hematoma

A

bleeding under skin

50
Q

dehiscence

A

separation or splitting open of layers of a surgical wound

51
Q

evisceration

A

extrusion of viscera or intestine through surgical wound

52
Q

skin tear is usually common in what type of patients?

A

older adults and those critically/chronically ill

53
Q

what is the most common drain to help remove excess fluid?

A

jackson-pratt drain

54
Q

purposes of dressings:

A

protect from microorganisms, aids in hemostasis, promotes healing by absorbing drainage, supports wound site, promotes thermal insulation, provides a moist environment

55
Q

types of dressings:

A

gauze, transparent film, hydrocolloid, hydrogel, foam, composite

56
Q

_____ antibiotics can decrease the incidence of infection in certain kinds of surgery

A

prophylactic

57
Q

most effective against cells undergoing active growth and division, one of the most widely used antibacterial drugs

A

cephalosporins

58
Q

this person said “if patient has a bedsore, it is not the patients fault it is the nurse’s fault”

A

Florence Nightingale

59
Q

when do you asses skin of a patient?

A

initiation of care (beginning of shift), then at least once a shift

60
Q

what light is the best to assess patient skin

A

natural light not flourescent

61
Q

wound approximation:

A

two edges come together

62
Q

eschar is

A

dead tissue

63
Q

factors that influence wound healing

A

nutrition, tissue perfusion, infection and age

64
Q

nutrition for wound healing

A

protein, vitamins (especially A & C), trace minerals of zinc and cooper, and adequate calories

65
Q

tissue perfusion:

A

oxygen fuels cellular functions

66
Q

how do you clean a wound?

A

from least contaminated to the surrounding skin
