Test 3 Flashcards
Secondary wound healing process
Open wound, granulation fills in wound bed, epithelial cells finish the job.
Primary wound healing process
Surgical, allows epithelial cells to migrate and repair tissue. Superficial.
Tertiary wound healing process
Open a while before it closes. This occurs to get rid of infection. Allow to heal from secondary first.
Phases of healing of wound
Hemostasis.
Inflammatory.
Proliferation.
Maturation.
Hemostasis phase of healing
Platelet helps clot blood. Vasoconstriction.
Inflammatory phase of wound
Vasodilation. Swelling, increased pain around tissue, increased WBC to fight infection.
Maceration of a wound
Water logged edges
Tunneling of wound
Passageway under intact skin with an end point
Undermining of a wound
Extends under skin or superficial tissue
Stage 1 pressure ulcer/wound
Skin in tact but doesn’t Blanche
Stage 2 pressure ulcer/wound
Partial thickness. It opens here, blister
Stage 3 pressure ulcer/wound
Full thickness skin loss, goes into dermis
Stage 4 pressure ulcer/wound
Full thickness, tissue loss. May see bone or muscle.
Stage 5 pressure ulcer/wound
Unstageable. Can’t determine depth.
Stage 6 pressure ulcer/wound
Deep bruising. The skin is intact so u can’t see how far it goes
4 phases of wound healing
Hemostasis
Inflammatory
Proliferation
Remodeling
Hemostasis phase of wound healing
Platelets clot blood due to vasoconstriction
Inflammatory phase if wound healing
Swelling, increased pain around tissue, elevated WBC to fight infection. Vasodilation
Proliferation phase of wound healing
Surface wound-epithelial
Deeper-granulation then epithelial
3 processes of wound healing
Primary
Secondary
Tertiary
Primary process of wound healing
Surgical, allow epithelial cells to repair superficial tissue
Secondary process of wound healing
Open wound, granulation tissue fills in, then epithelial
Tertiary process of wound healing
Wound is open a while before it closes to get rid of infection
Lab tests for nutrition
Hbg

Esr
Crp
Esr lab shows what for nutrition
Response to treatment
Crp lab shows what for nutrition
Inflammation, levels should decrease if levels are improving
Mg values
1.3-2.3
Ca levels
8-10
K+ levels
3-5
NA+ levels
135-145
