Q

_______ bandage is a strip of gauze or cotton material prepared in a roll. ______ bandages can be used to immobilize injured body parts (sprains and torn muscles), provide pressure to control internal or external bleeding, absorb drainage, and secure dressings. Three types of bandages are the Kerlex bandage, the gauze bandage, and the elastic bandage

Q

the bandage is absorbent, loosely woven, and conforms easily to uneven surfaces, such as the hand, wrist, elbow, shoulder, groin, knee, ankle, and foot. These bandages are used primarily for bleeding injuries

Q

is absorbent, loosely woven, cotton fabric. It does not conform well to uneven surfaces and is not to be used on areas prone to chafing such as shoulders, elbows, groin and other jointed areas. It is used primarily on bleeding injuries on the upper arm, forearm, thigh and lower leg

Q

composed of cloth and elastic that allows it to stretch and retract. It conforms to uneven surfaces and applies even pressure to the area covered. It is used to apply pressure and/or restrict movement. The elastic bandage is normally used when a sprain needs to be immobilized. Make sure the bandage is not right enough to restrict blood flow unless it is used as a pressure dressing

Q
  • is made from a piece of cloth approximately forty inches square by folding the square diagonally and cutting along the fold
  • it is easily applied and can be handled so that the part to be applied over wound or burn dressings will not be soiled
  • made from UNBLEACHED COTTON CLOTH, any kind of cloth will do
  • also used to make tourniquets to support fractures and dislocations to apply splints and to form slings

Q

is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues often which may be associated with disruption of the structures and functions

A

wound

17
Q

also known as a contusion results from damage to the soft tissues and blood vessels, which causes bleeding beneath the skin surface. ___ a light skinned individual will change from red to purple to greenish to yellow before fading.

A

bruise

18
Q

also known as a scrape or rug burn, results when the outer layer of skin is scraped or rubbed away. exposure of nerve endings makes this type of wound painful

A

abrasion

19
Q

cut, or incision is caused by sharp objects such as knives or glass or from trauma due to a strike from a blunt object that opens the skin, such as a base-ball bat.

A

laceration

20
Q

results when the skin or tissue is torn away from the body, either partially or completely. the bleeding and pain will depend on the depth of tissue affected

A

avulsion

21
Q

results when the skin is pierced by a sharp object such as a pencil, nail or bullet. if a piece of the object remains on the skin, or if there is little bleeding due to the depth and location, infection is likely

A

puncture

22
Q

three phases of physiology of wound healimg

A
  1. defensive (hemostasis and inflammatory process - vascular and cellular responses
  2. reconstructive (collagen deposition and angiogenesis - the formation of new blood vessels)
  3. maturation
23
Q
  • When you get a cut, scratch, or other wound in your skin, it usually starts bleeding. The first stage of wound healing is to stop the bleeding. This is called hemostasis.
    -Blood begins to clot seconds to minutes after you get a wound. This is the good kind of BLOODCLOT that helps to prevent too much blood loss. Clotting also helps to close and heal the wound, making a scab.
A

stop the bleeding (hemostasis)

24
Q

1.Blood vessels around the wound narrow. This helps to stop the bleeding.
2.Platelets, which are the clotting cells in blood, clump together to make a “plug” in the wound.
3.Clotting or coagulation includes a protein called fibrin. It’s “blood glue” that makes a net to hold the platelet plug in place. Your wound now has a scab over it.
4.Inflammation, which involves cleaning and healing

A

scrabbing over

25
Q

Clotting or coagulation includes a protein called ____ It’s “blood glue” that makes a net to hold the platelet plug in place. Your wound now has a scab over it.

A

fibrin

26
Q
  • Once the wound is clean and stable, your body can begin rebuilding the site. Oxygen-rich red blood cells come to the site to create new tissue. It’s like a construction site, except your body makes its own building materials.
    •Chemical signals in the body tell cells around the wound to make elastic tissues called collagen. This helps to repair the skin and tissues in the wound. Collagen is like a scaffold that other cells can be built on.
    •At this stage in healing, you might see a fresh, raised, red scar. The scar will slowly fade in color and look flatter.
A

rebuilding

27
Q

Even after your wound looks closed and repaired, it’s still healing. It might look pink and stretched or puckered. You may feel itching or tightness over the area. Your body continues to repair and strengthen the area.

A

maturation

28
Q

wound __________,or removing dead tissue around the wound to help it heal

A
