Wounds

Question 1

Four steps of Wound Strength

Answer 1

1. Lag period
2. Collagen production
3. Collagen conversion
4. Final strength (less than unwounded)

Question 2

Two aspects of the Lag Period in wound strength…

Answer 2

1. No gain in strength
2. Critical in GI healing

Question 3

There is a rapid gain in wound strength during collagen production. The rate of this gain depends on what

Answer 3

The tissue type and its blood supply

Question 4

In Collagen conversion, wound strength increases when type ______ collagen is replaced with type ______ collagen in the remodeling phase

Answer 4

Type three collagen is replaced with
Type one collagen

Question 5

What two steps do incisional wounds usually do minimally in the process of healing

Answer 5

Inflammation and debridement

Question 6

Three steps of repair for incised wounds

Answer 6

1. Granulation tissue
2. Epithelization
3. Contraction (minimal, already have contact inhibition)

Question 7

In open wounds Inflammation and Debridement have a greater contribution due to

Answer 7

Increased Trauma (inflammation) and Contamination (Debridement)

Question 8

Maturation of open wounds may never approach ____________

Answer 8

Normal

Question 9

Answer 9

1. Granulation tissue formation
2. Epithelialization
3. Contraction
