Q

Explain 3 color concept in wound assessment

A

Red=Granulated (ideal color. Protect properly healing wounds. No debridement. Keep wound moist to protect new cells, cover with sterile guaze and non-adherant bandage
Yellow: Fibrinous, “slough” Devitalized tissue. Possible infection, lots of drainage. Debride and use wet to moist dressing
Black: Necrotic tisssue “eschar”. Non-viable tissue, inhibits healing process, Debride with sharps, mechanical, or chemical

25
Q

Which type of arthritis?
Most common joint disease
Degenerative.
Non-inflammatory
Results in cartilage deterioration and secondary bone growth
Affects individual joints
Sx: Joint pain, aching stiffness, impaired ROM, inflammation

A

Osteoarthritis

26
Q

Sudden onset
Affects synovial tissue
Exaccerbations and remissions
Polyarticular and symmetrical
Commonly affects neck, jaw, hips, knees, ankles, shoulders, elbows, joints of hand and wrist

A

Rhematoid Arthritis

28
Q

Define synovitis

A

Inflammation of synovial membrane that lines the joint capsule of diarthrodial joints. Synovium stops producing lubricating liquid and instead produces matrix-degrading enzymes that weaken the capsule and distend ligaments and tendons
