Erythema

21
Q

Also referred to as callous, this is typically white/gray in color and can vary in texture from firm to soggy depending on the moisture level and surrounding tissue

Q

A scar characterized by the organized formation of collagen fibers that align in a parallel fashion

A

Stage 1

33
Q

The area of the burn that receive the most severe injury with irreversible cell damage

A

Zone of coagulation

34
Q

Stage of pressure ulcer involving full-thickness tissue loss with exposed bone, tendon, or muscle that is visible or directly palpable

A

Stage 4

35
Q

“Wounds healing by ———- intention typically have minimal scarring and heal quickly in an uncomplicated and orderly progression.”

A

Primary

36
Q

Type of dressing that refers to an application of a moistened gauze dressing over an area of necrotic tissue

A

Wet to dry

37
Q

This type of wound causes trauma to the skin with the epidermis remaning in tact, such as a non-blistering sunburn.
