180 QUESTIONS AND CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS



1. Mrs. Williams is 76 years old and comes in to have a wound checked on her right leg.

She fell a month ago and the wound has not healed. She is concerned that something is

wrong. The nurse practitioner examines the wound and sees that it has been cleaned

properly and has no signs of infection. The edges are approximated, but the skin around

the wound is red and tender to touch. The best response regarding Mrs. Williams'

concern is:




1. Wound healing for older people may take up to four times longer than it does for

younger people.

2. Let us talk about what you are eating.

3. Had you come in earlier, I would have ordered medicine that would have healed that

right up.

4. I will order an antibiotic to prevent infection. - Answer✔️✔️-1. Answer: 1

Skin renewal turnover time increases to approximately 87 days in older adults,

compared with 20 days during youth.

2.

The perceived extended healing time is not related to diet.

3.

This is false hope, as there is no medication that will heal this wound quickly.

4.

Prophylactic antibiotics are not appropriate when there are no signs or symptoms of

infection.

2. The nurse practitioner is conducting patient rounds in a long-term care facility. As she

talks with Mrs. Jones, she notices that her arms and elbows are excoriated and the skin

is shearing. The nurse practitioner explains to the staff that Mrs. Jones needs frequent

assessment of her skin and protection provided to prevent skin breakdown because:



1. Her lack of activity causes the skin to tear.

2. Fat has redistributed to the abdomen and thighs, leaving bony surfaces in areas such

as the face, hands, and sacrum. This can result in injury.

3. She has lost weight and is in jeopardy of falling.

4. She picks at herself and causes skin breakdown. - Answer✔️✔️-2. Answer: 2

1.

Lack of activity alone does not cause skin breakdown.

2.

Fat is redistributed to the abdomen and thighs, leaving bony surfaces, such as the face,

hands, and sacrum, exposed to potential injury, especially skin tears from shearing,

friction forces and pressure ulcer development.

3.

Although losing weight may be a risk factor for falling, it is not directly related to skin

breakdown.

4.

There is no evidence that she is picking at herself, as there is nothing reported

anywhere else on her arms.

3. Mr. James is 91 years old. His daughter notices that he has bruises and lacerations

on his arms and reports this to the nurse practitioner, who tells her that older people

bruise easily due to their fragile blood vessels. The skin lacerations happen because he

has thin skin. Even so, the nurse practitioner assures the daughter that she will

investigate further to ensure that he is getting proper care. She says this because she

understands that:



1. These markings on the patient's skin are part of aging skin.

2. Bruises and lacerations can indicate inadequate care.

3. The daughter needs assurance that her father is okay.

4. The patient is being abused. - Answer✔️✔️-3. Answer: 2

Page: 97




Feedback

1.

Markings on the skin may be signs of aging, a disease, or maltreatment.

2.

Poorly healing wounds or chronic pressure ulcers may signal a problem not only with

the patient but with the caregiver's ability to provide adequate care. Welts, lacerations,

burns, and distinctive markings may indicate a need for intervention.

3.

This is a result of the nurse practitioner addressing it further rather than the reason for

addressing it.

4.

A professional cannot assume abuse without good reason.

4. The nurse practitioner assesses a patient's skin and finds an infectious lesion on the

lower leg. The lesion is considered a secondary lesion. The nurse practitioner explains

that a secondary lesion is one that:



1. Arises from changes to a primary lesion.
