Q

Type of inflammation which occurs when an injury never fully heals and the area is reinjured

A

Acute on Chronic

18
Q

Category of healing of a clinical or surgical wound or of a skin-penetrating injury with clear, clean margins that have not become separated or that can be closed using sutures, staples, or Steristrips

A

First Intention Healing

19
Q

Category of healing which consists of delayed healing of a surgical wound or healing of a nonsurgical wound

A

Second Intention Healing

20
Q

Tissue found in a wound which is characterized by a red dotted effect and indicates that the wound is healthy and healing.

A

Granulation Tissue

21
Q

Type of scar tissue that spreads beyond the borders of the original wound, resulting from the formation of excessive amounts of granulation tissue and thus too much collagen production

A

Keloid Scarring

22
Q

Type of scarring frequently found in persons who have been burned

A

Hypertrophic Scarring

23
Q

Scar tissue that connects structures together that are not normally linked.

A

Adhesion

24
Q

The removal of necrotic tissue so that the underlying tissue can heal

A

Debridement

25
Q

A special type of necrotic tissue that is hard, black or brown, and leathery in texture

A

Eschar

26
Q

Pain that is felt within the area of skin supplied by the same nerve root as that supplying the injured area

A

Referred Pain

27
Q

T or F: Pain is a subjective experience

A

True

28
Q

T or F: Pain receptors triggered by a stimulus send signals along A-delta fibers, which are myelinated and thus transmit at a fast rate

A

True

29
Q

Theory which states that for a pain impulse to be perceived by the brain, the number of pain impulses had to outnumber the pain inhibiting factors to open the “Gate” to the brain to send impulses registering pain

A

Gate Control Theory
