Shearing Force

21
Q

This is a hardening of a tissue, particularly the skin, because of edema or inflammation. What is this defined as?

A

Induration

22
Q

This is the the act of piercing or penetrating with a pointed object or instrument. What is this defined as?

A

Puncture

A

Sanguineous

26
Q

The is is a type of drainage; of, relating to, producing, or resembling serum; especially: having a thin watery constitution. What is this defined as?

A

Serous

27
Q

This is the filling of a wound, and the resurfacing of the wound. What is this defined as?

A

Epithelialization

28
Q

This is a torn, jagged wound. What is this defined as?

A

Laceration

29
Q

This is inflammation, soreness, or an ulceration in the skin over a bony prominence. What is this defined as?

A

Pressure Ulcer

31
Q

This means to separate from the living tissue, pertaining to a dead or necrotic part. What is this defined as?

A

Slough

32
Q

These are threads or metal used to sew body tissues together. What is this defined as?

A

Sutures

33
Q

This is the point at which tissues receive insufficient oxygen and perfusion. What is this defined as?

A

Tissue Ischemia

34
Q

This is a tough fibrous protein. What is this defined as?

A

Collagen

34
Q

This is the primary union of the edges of a wound, progressing to complete scar formation without granulation. What is this defined as?

A

Primary Intention

35
Q

This is the shrinkage and spontaneous closure of open skin wounds. What is this defined as?

A

Wound contraction

36
Q

When this occurs there is redness-localized vasodilation; blanching w/ fingertip pressure; lasts less than 1 hour. pressure ulcer. What is this defined as?

A

normal reactive hyperemia

37
Q

This is the scraping or rubbing away of epidermis. What is this defined as?

A

Abrasion

37
Q

This protein works by forming a network in which blood cells become trapped, producing a clot. What is this defined as?

A

Fibrin

39
Q

This occurs when fluid, cells, or other substances that have been discharged from cells or blood vessels slowly pour through small pores or breaks in cell membranes. What is this defined as?

A

Exudate

40
Q

This is bleeding from a wound site. What is this defined as?

A

Hemorrhage

41
Q

This is a device that assists in wound closure by applying localized negative pressure to draw the edges of a wound together. What is this defined as?

A

Vacuum-assisted closure (V.A.C)

42
Q

This is a force that occurs in a direction to oppose movement. What is this defined as?

A

Friction

42
Q

In the body this force operates when the skin moves over underlying tissues, usually when a bed-bound patient is being moved, and results in soft-tissue damage and ischaemic changes. What is this defined as?

A

Shearing Force

44
Q

This occurs when granulation tissue develops to fill the gap; and, finally, epithelium grows in over the granulation, producing a larger scar than results with primary intention. What is this defined as?

A

Secondary intention

45
Q

This is a soft yellow or white tissue which is a stringy substance attached to wound bed and must be removed from a skilled clinician before the wound will be able to heal. What is this defined as?
