25
Q

Modified T/F: Complications of Burns

A. Pulmonary complications include carbon monoxide
poisoning, tracheal damage, upper airway obstruction,
pulmonary edema, pneumonia

B. It is the leading cause of mortality

A

TF

B. Infection is the leading cause of mortality

26
Q

Give 2 common bacteria that affects open wounds

A

Pseudomonas Aeruginosa
Staphylococcus Aureus

27
Q

Modified T/F: Complications of Burns

A. Severe burns where there are hemodynamic changes from
the loss/shifting of fluids
B. 10% decrease in cardiac output within the first hour after
injury

A

TF

B - 15% decrease in cardiac output within the first hour after
injury

28
Q

Modified T/F: Complications of Burns
A. Thermal injuries cause a great metabolic and catabolic
change to the body
B. Rapid increase in body weight and increase in energy stores are vital to the healing process

A

TF

B - Rapid decrease in body weight and decrease in energy
stores that are vital to the healing process

29
Q

If individuals with burns are placed in a normal ambient temperature, excessive heat loss will be exhibited, therefore there is increase in stress response. What is the recommended room temperature to reduce the metabolic rate?

A

30°C

30
Q

Modified T/F: Complications of burns

A. Heterotrophic ossification occurs in areas of partial thickness burns or sites that remain unhealed for a prolonged period of time
B. The most common joint affected is the hip

A

FF
A - full thickness
B - Elbow

31
Q

T/F: Heterotrophic ossification suspected etiologies includes Immobilization, microtrauma, low protein intake, sepsis

A

False - Suspected etiologies: Immobilization, microtrauma, high
protein intake, sepsis

32
Q

Happens when compression bandages applied to tight, poorly fitted
splints, inappropriate positioning

A

Neuropathy

33
Q

Superficial nerves that can get impinged when wearing splint (3)

A

Brachial plexus, ulnar, common peroneal

34
Q

Refers to
● Deep partial thickness burns allowed to heal
● Full thickness burns that have been skin grafted

A

PATHOLOGICAL SCAR

35
Q

Wound healing: Inflammatory, proliferative or maturation

  1. Ratio of collagen breakdown to production determines the type of scar that forms
  2. Wound contraction
  3. Fibroblast formation
  4. Characterized by redness, edema, warmth, pain, and decreased ROM d/t pain
  5. Re-epithelialization is occurring at the surface of the wound, while deep within the wound, fibroblasts are migrating and proliferating
A
  1. M
  2. P
  3. P
  4. I
  5. P
36
Q

Modified T/F: In maturation phase

A. If collagen production is equal or greater than collagen breakdown, there will be hypertrophic scar
B. If collagen production is less than collagen breakdown, there will be a pale flat and pliable scar

A

FF
A - pale flat and pliable scar
B - hypertrophic scar

37
Q

Types of Burn scars

Characterized by extremely tight skin that can restrict your ability to move.

A

Contracture Scars

38
Q

Types of Burn Scars

Can appear as a firm, rubbery lesion or shiny, fibrous nodules

A

Keloid scars

39
Q

Types of Burn Scars

Excessive collagen deposits. Appear raised, but not to the
degree observed with keloids

A

Hypertrophic scars

40
Q

T/F: On histological examination, keloid scar tends to have regularly patterned collagen

A

False - hypertrophic scars

41
Q

T/F: Hypertrophic scars are contained in the site of injury and ,may regress over time

A

True

42
Q

Keloid scars come out on the usual []

A

wound bed

43
Q

Modified T/F: Contracture Scars

A. Abnormal and happens when a large array of skin is damaged resulting in a scar formation where the edges of
the skin are pulled together causing a tight area.
b. If too tight surgical intervention may be needed for release. Downside: need to heal again after the session

A
