Wound Care certification EXAM 2024 what are 6 risk factor components of Braden Scale for pressure ulcer? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔sensory perception, moisture, mobility, activity, nutrition, and shear/friction What is the name of the organization that developed the pressure ulcer staging? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔NPUAP (national pressure ulcer advisory panel) pathological effect of excessive pressure on soft tissue can be attributed by 3 factors? what are they? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔tissue tolerance, duration of pressure, and intensity of pressure what are the extrinsic factors that impact pressure ulcers? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔increase in moisture, friction and shearing how does friction play a role in shearing which eventually leads to pressure ulcer? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔friction alone causes only superfical abrasion, but with gravity it plays a synergistic effect leading to shearing. When gravity pushes down on the body and resistance (friction) between the patient and surface is exerted, shearing occurs. because skin doe s not freely move, primary effect of shearing occurs at the deeper fascial level. what are the intrisinc factors of pressur ulcers? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔nutritional debilitation, advanced age, low BP , stress, smoking, elevated body temperature Aging skin undergoes what elements affecting risk for pressure ulcer? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔dermoepidermal junction flattens, less nutrient exchange occurs, less resistance to shearing, changes in sensory perception, loss of dermal thickness, increased vascular fragility; ability of soft tisuse to distribute mechanical load w/out comprosing blood flow is impaired What does nonblanching erythema indicate in the skin r/t PU? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔when pressure is applied to the erythematic area skin becomes white (blanched), but once relieved, erythema returns -indicating blood flow; however in nonblanching erythema, skin does not blanche -indicating impaired blood flow -suggesting tissue destructon why does sitting in a chair pose more of a risk in skin break down than lying? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔deep tissue injury or PU is likely to occur sooner sitting down because tissue offloading over boney prominences is higher Describe what you will see in deep tissue injury? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔purple or maroon localized area of discolored intact skin skinor blood filled blister; may be preceded by painful, firm, mushy, or boggy; skin may be warmer to cooler in adjacent tissue. In dark skin, thin blister or eschar over a dark wound bed may bee se en Describe stage I pressure ulcer? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔Intact skin with nonblanchable redness of localized area. Will not see blanching in dark skin, but changes in skin tissue consistency (firm vs boggy when palpated), sensation (pain), and warmer or cooler temperature may differ from surrounding area Describe stage II pressure ulcer? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔partial -thickness wound where epidermis and tip of dermis is lost with red -pink wound bed w/out slough. may also present as intact or open/ruptured serum -filled blister Describe stage III pressure ulcer? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔full-thickness wound where both epidermis and dermis is lost and subcutaneous tissue may be visible, but deeper structures such as muscle, bone, and tendon are not exposed; slough my be present but it doesn't obscure depth and tunneling and undermining may be present Describe stage IV pressure ulcer? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔full-thickness wound with exposed bone,tendon, and muscle; slough or eschar may be seen in some parts of the wound bed. you will often see tunneling and undermining. Osteomyelitis may be dxed at this stage, since bone is palpable Describe unstageble ulcers? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔full-thickness wound where base of the ulcer is covered by slough and/or eschar, obscuring depth When should eschars not be removed? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔when it's stable with dry, adherent, and intact w/out erythema on the heel; this serves as the body's natural cover and should not be removed. Therapeutic function of pressure distribution is accomplised by what 2 factors? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔immersion and envelopement Define immersion? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔depth of penetration or skining into surgace allowing pressure to be spread out over surrounding area rather than directly over boney prominence Define envelopement? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔is the ability of support surface to conform to irregularities without causing substantial increase in pressure what is bottoming out? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔this occurs when depth of penetration or sinking is excessive, allowing increased pressure to concentrate over boney prominences what factors contribute to bottoming out? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔weight, disproportion of weight and size such as amputation, tendency to keep HOB >30 degrees, inappropriate support surface settings When should you consider reactive support surface with features and components such as low air loss, alternating pressure, viscous or air fluids? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔for patients who cannot effectively position off their wound, have PUs in multiple turning surfaces, or have PUs that fail to improve despite optimal comprehensive management When should active support surface be considered? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔when effective positioning is determined by an MD to be medically contraindicated What is the difference between an active and reactive support surfaces/ - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔active support surface is a powered mattress or overlay that changes it's load - distribution with or without applied load; pressure is redistributed across the body by inflating and deflating the cells of alternating zones. conversely a reactive support su rface moves or changes load -distribution properties only in response to applied load, such as the patient's body. When are active support surfaces appropriate? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔when manual frequent repositioning is not possible when are reactive support surfaces appropriate? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔for pressure ulcer prevention
