, Which statement correctly describes tetanus?
A. Its incubation period is 4 to 8 weeks.
B. It results from a bacillus found in the saliva of nonimmunized animals.
C. It can be destroyed using sterilization.
D. It is a systemic infection caused by Clostridium tetani. - ANS✔✔--Tetanus is a
systemic infection caused by Clostridium tetani. The bacillus is a gram-positive, spore-
forming, anaerobe. C. tetani spores are present in soil, mulch, and anywhere animal or
human excrement is found. Rabies is a virus found in the saliva of infected mammals.
Once activated, Clostridium tetani is virtually indestructible, even by sterilization. The
incubation period for tetanus is 2 days to 2 weeks. For rabies, it is 4 to 8 weeks.
Which skin layer is the key layer for wound healing?
A. Stratum corneum
B. Epidermis
C. Dermis
D. Deep fascia - ANS✔✔--The dermis, which is much thicker than the epidermis, is
primarily composed of connective tissue and is the key layer for wound healing.
Removal of debris and devitalized tissue from the dermis results in optimal healing and
minimal scar formation. The epidermis is the outermost layer and protects against
chemicals and microorganisms. The outermost layer of the epidermis is the stratum
corneum, which gives skin its cosmetic appearance. The deep fascia is part of the
subcutaneous layer and covers and protects underlying muscles.
Which statement accurately characterizes wound care?
A. A tetanus-prone wound can result from a crushing mechanism.
B. Uncomplicated minor wounds require prophylactic antibiotics.
C. Tetanus toxoid provides passive immunization against tetanus.
D. The most effective intervention to reduce the risk of infection is antibiotic
administration. - ANS✔✔--A tetanus-prone wound can result from a crushing
mechanism. Tetanus-prone wounds also include those that are more than 6 hours old,
are stellate or avulsed, are caused by missiles, show obvious signs of infection, have
devitalized tissue, or contain contaminants, such as dirt, feces, soil, or saliva.
Uncomplicated minor wounds do not require prophylactic antibiotics. Meticulous wound
care, debridement, proper wound closure, and dressings are the most important
