52 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
wound in which skin or mucous membranes are rubbed or scraped
abrasion
lightly pulled together
approximated
large bandage used to support a body part or to hold a dressing in place
binder
removal of foreign material or dying tissue from a wound
debridement
accidental separation of wound edges, especially a surgical wound
dehiscence
layer of skin composed of dense connective fibers, blood vessels, nerves, hair follicles, and glands
dermis
process in which the thin, outermost layer of epidermis (stratum corneum or horny layer) is continuously shed
desquamation
abnormal tube like passage between organs or between an organ and a body surface, often as a result of poor wound healing
fistula
process in which epidermal cells, which appear pink in color, reproduce and migrate across the surface of the partial-thickness wound
epithelialization
protrusion of internal organs through an open wound
evisceration
soft, pink, highly vascularized connective tissue formed during wound repair
granulation tissue
localized accumulation of blood in a body tissue, organ, or space as a result of broken blood vessel
hematoma
wound caused by tearing of a body tissue
laceration
softening of tissue due to excessive moisture
macerated
result of the impeding of capillary blood flow to the skin or underlying tissue
pressure ulcer
producing or containing pus
purulent
pertaining to or containing blood
sanguineous
containing serum and blood
seroanguineous
thin, watery, serum-like
serous
who are most susceptible to skin disruption
very young and very old
what is used for predicting pressure ulcer sore risk?
braden scale
what stage pressure ulcer?...intact skin with non-blanchable redness of localized area, usually over bony prominence; area my be painful, firm, soft, warm or cooler, as compared to adjacent tissue
Stage I pressure ulcer
what stage pressure ulcer?...partial-thickness loss of dermis presenting as a shallow open ulcer with a red-pink wound bed, without slough; may also present as an intact or open/ruptured serum-filled blister; presents as a shiny or dry shallow ulcer without slough or bruising
stage II pressure ulcer
what does bruising indicate?
suspected deep tissue injury
what stage pressure ulcer?...full-thickness tissue loss. subcutaneous fat may be visible but bone, tendon, or muscle is not exposed. slough may be present but does not obscure the depth of tissue loss. may include undermining and tunneling. bone/tendon is not visible or directly palpable. the depth of this stage varies by anatomic location
stage III pressure ulcer
full-thickness tissue loss with exposed bone, tendon, or muscle. slough or eschar may be present on some parts of the wound bed. often includes undermining and tunneling. depth of ulcer varies by anatomic location. can extend into muscle or bone or supporting structures making osteomyelitis possible. exposed bone/tendon is visible or directly palpable
stage IV pressure ulcer
what stage pressure ulcer?...full thickness tissue loss in which base of ulcer is covered by slough and or eschar in the wound bed
unstageable pressure ulcer
purple or maroon localized area of discolored intact skin or blood filled blister due to damage of underlying soft tissue from pressure and or shear. the area my be preceded by tissue that is painful, firm, mushy, boggy, warmer, or cooler as compared to adjacent tissue.
suspected deep tissue injury
nonviable or necrotic tissue that is white or yellow
slough
nonviable or necrotic tissue that is brown to black
eschar
chemical messengers that are involved in wound healing
growth factors
the phase of wound healing that begins immediately upon wounding with the onset of vasoconstriction, platelet aggregation, and clot formation
hemostasis
this phase of wound healing lasts about three days and is marked by vasodilation and phagocytosis as the body works to clean the wound to begin the repair process
inflammatory phase
what are the phases of wound healing in partial thickness wound repair?
hemostasis, inflammatory phase, and proliferative phase
what are the phases of wound healing in full thickness wound repair?
hemostasis
inflammatory phase
proliferative phase
maturation
in the proliferative phase of partial thickness wound repair, what does it begin with?
epithelialization
in the proliferative phase of full thickness wound repair, what does it begin with?
development of granulation tissue
pulling the wound inward, leading to decrease in depth and dimension of the wound
contracture
the number of fibroblasts decreases, collagen synthesis stabilizes, and collagen fibrils become increasingly organized, resulting in greater tensile strength of the wound
maturation
wounds with minimal tissue loss, such as clean surgical incisions or shallow sutured wounds heal by_______ ________
primary intention
the edge of a ______ wound are approximated; granulation tissue is not visible, and scarring is usually minimal
primary
wounds with full-thickness tissue loss, such as deep lacerations, burns, and pressure ulcers, have edges that do not readily approximate and they heal by ______ _______
secondary intention
type of wound healing: open wound gradually fills with granulation tissue, eventually epithelial cells migrate across granulation base, completing cycle; scarring is more prevalent
secondary intention
type of healing that occurs when a delay ensues between injury and wound closure
tertiary intention
tertiary intention is also known as what?
delayed primary closure
type of wound healing that may happen when a deep wound is not sutured immediately or is purposely left open until there is no sign of infection and then closed with sutures
tertiary intention
adhesive semipermeable film dressings
transparent films
hydrophilic polyurethane used for partial and full thickness wounds with small to moderate drainage; provide absorption and protection
foams
hydrophilic colloid particles attached to a backing
hydrocolloids
used to encourage granulation within full thickness wounds and to provide comfort in tender, partial thickness wounds
hydrogels
wound dressing used for absorption; indicated for deep or moderately draining wounds
alginate
antimicrobial dressing used for infected wounds
silver dressings
