What are the functions of skin? Right Ans - Protection, sensation, fluid
balance, temperature regulation, vitamin production, immune response
function, absorption, elimination
What is vitamin D? Right Ans - Cholecalciferol; a fat soluble vitamin that
helps the body absorb calcium and phosphorus
Vitamin D is particularly helpful in *preventing* which of the following?

fortified cereal, and fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel and sardines.
How does the skin protect the body? Right Ans - It acts as a physical
barrier, prevents fluid loss, prevents the invasion of microorganisms and
protects against UV damage
How does the skin regulate body temperature? Right Ans - Insulation
(hypodermis),
Constriction or Dialation of dermal blood vessels,
Sweating or shivering
,What are the layers of the skin? Right Ans - Epidermis, dermis,
subcutaneous
What are pressure ulcers? Right Ans - Localized area of cellular necrosis
resulting from pressure between any boney prominence and with an external
object.
*Blanchable* redness is considered a what in regard to pressure wounds?
Right Ans - Warning sign
There are 4 stages of pressure wounds, 1 being the least severe. Which stage
would be characterized by *full thickness tissue loss with visible fat/adipose
tissue?* Right Ans - Stage 3
There are 4 stages of pressure wounds, 1 being the least severe. Which stage
would be characterized by *partial thickness skin loss involving epidermis,
dermis, or both?* Right Ans - Stage 2
There are 4 stages of pressure wounds, 1 being the least severe. Which stage
would be characterized by *non-blanchable redness?* Right Ans - Stage 1
There are 4 stages of pressure wounds, 1 being the least severe. Which stage
would be characterized by *full-thickness tissue loss with exposed bone,
muscle, or tendon?* Right Ans - Stage 4
There are 4 stages of pressure wounds, 1 being the least severe. Which stage
would be characterized by *full-thickness skin and tissue loss in which the
extent of tissue damage within the ulcer cannot be confirmed because it is
obscured by slough or eschar*? Right Ans - Unstageable
There are 4 stages of pressure wounds, 1 being the least severe. Which stage
would be characterized by *intact or non-intact skin with localized area of
persistent non-blanchable deep red, maroon, purple discoloration
orepidermal separation revealing a dark wound bed or bloodfilled blister*?
Right Ans - Deep Tissue Injury
What is the Braden scale? Right Ans - Scale that assesses the risk in
numerical scoring based on sensory perception, moisture, activity, mobility,
nutrition, and friction or shearing.
,When assessing for pressure wounds, a nurse should assess what qualities of
the wound? Right Ans - Type, location, thickness, stage, size, length, width,
depth, tunneling (if applicable), drainage/exudate (with amount), odor, tissue
adherence/type, edges, epibole, and presence of tubes or drains
Which of the following is *not* a wound drain?
A. Penrose
B. Hemovac
C. Jackson-Pratt
D. Wound Vac
E. Yankauer Right Ans - E. Yankauer
Penrose drain: Right Ans - A flat, thin, rubber tube inserted into a wound to

Hemovac Drain: Right Ans - A closed drainage system in which a soft drain
is attached to a springlike suction device
Wound Vac: Right Ans - A medical device that applies negative pressure to
a wound to promote healing and prevent infections.
Jackson-Pratt drain: Right Ans - Drainage system that uses a compressed

wound management, except:

- Evaluate circulatory status
- Evaluate neurologic status
- Evaluate nutrition/hydration
- Braden Scale Score Right Ans - GCS Scale Score
, The Braden scale evaluates *what characteristics* of the patient to measure
pressure injury risk? Right Ans - Sensory perception, moisture, activity,
mobility, nutrition, friction and shear
