A client has a diabetic stasis ulcer on the lower leg. The nurse
uses a hydrocolloid dressing to cover it. The procedure for
application includes:
1. Cleaning the skin and wound with betadine
2. Removing all traces of residues for the old dressing
3. Choosing a dressing no more than quarter-inch larger than the
wound size
4. Holding in place for one minute to allow it to adhere Correct
Answer 4. Holding in place for one minute to allow it to adhere;
The skin is cleansed with normal saline or a mild cleanser.
Residue of old dressings will dissolve. The dressing size is to be
3-4 cm (1.5 inches) larger than the size of the wound.
A client has a pressure ulcer with a shallow, partial skin
thickness, eroded area but no necrotic areas. The nurse would
treat the area with which dressing?
1. Alginate
2. Dry Gauze
3. Hydrocolloid
4. No dressing indicated. Correct Answer 3. Hydrocolloid;
Hydrocolloid dressings protect shallow ulcers and maintain an
appropriate healing environment.
,Alginates (option 1) are used for wounds with significant
drainage; dry gauze (option 2) will stick to granulation tissue,
causing more damage. A dressing is needed to protect the
wound and enhance healing.
A client has a wound infection. What local human response
should the nurse expect to identify? Correct Answer Edema;
Chemical mediators increase the permeability of small blood
vessels, thereby causing fluid to move into the interstitial
compartment, resulting in local edema.
A client has wound that is healing by secondary intention. To
best support the healing of the wound, the nurse should expect
the practitioner's order to state, "Clean wound with:" Correct
Answer "Clean wound with normal saline and apply a wet-to-
damp dressing"; Cleaning with normal saline will not damage
fibroblasts. Wet-to-damp dressings allow epidermal cells to
migrate more rapidly across the wound surface than dry
dressings, thereby facilitating wound healing.
A client is admitted to the Emergency Department after a
motorcycle accident that resulted in the client's skidding across a
cement parking lot. Since the client was wearing shorts, there
are large areas on the legs where the skin is ripped off. This
wound is best described as:
1. Abrasion
2. Unapproximated
3. Laceration
, 4. Eschar Correct Answer 3. Laceration; Laceration best
describes the wound, because skin is ripped off. An abrasion is a
scrape. Unapproximated is a general term for a wound that is not
closed. Eschar is a scab-like covering over a wound.
A client's family asks you to explain some keloid scars that the
client developed. The best explanation of the keloid scars would
be that keloid scars are:
1. Due to a relatively rare inherited tendency.
2. Caused by an abnormal amount of collagen being laid down
in scar formation.
3. Most common in pale-skinned people of Northern European
ancestry.
4. Caused by repeated and abrupt early disruption of eschar
being formed. Correct Answer 2. Caused by an abnormal
amount of collagen being laid down in scar formation; Keloid
scars are due to an abnormal amount of collagen being laid
down in scar formation in the maturation phase, and they are
more apt to occur in a dark-skinned person.
A client's wound is draining thick yellow material. The nurse
correctly describes the drainage as:
1. Sanguineous
2. Serous-sanguineous
3. Serous
4. Purulent Correct Answer 4. Purulent; Drainage is described
as purulent. Sanguineous and Serous-sanguineous contain blood.
Serous is clear and watery.
