any lesion caused by unrelieved pressure that results in damage to underlying tissue; formerly called decubitus ulcers, bed sores, pressure sores

Front 13

Primary intention healing

Back 13

tissue surfaces are approximated (closed) and there is minimal or no tissue loss, formation of minimal granulation tissue and scarring

Purulent exudates

Back 14

an exudate consisting of leukocytes, liquefied dead tissue debris, and dead and living bacteria

bacteria that produce pus

Front 17

Reactive hyperemia

Back 17

a bright red flush on the skin occurring after pressure is relieved

Front 18

Regeneration

Back 18

renewal, regrowth, the replacement of destroyed tissue cells by cells that are identical or similar in structure and function

Front 19

Sanguineous exudates

Back 19

an exudate containing large amounts of red blood cells

Front 20

Secondary intention healing

Back 20

wound in which the tissue surfaces are not approximated and there is extensive tissue loss; formation of excessive granulation tissue and scarring

Front 21

Serous exudates

Back 21

inflammatory material composed of serum (clear portion of blood) derived from the blood and serous membranes of the body such as the peritoneum, pleura, pericardium, and meninges; watery in appearance and has few cells

Front 22

Shearing force

Back 22

a combination of friction and pressure which when applied to the skin results in damage to the blood vessels and tissues

Front 23

Sitz bath

Back 23

referred to as a hip bath, is used to soak a client’s pelvic area

Front 24

Suppuration

Back 24

the formation of pus

Front 25

Vasoconstriction

Back 25

a decrease in the caliber (lumen) of blood vessels

Front 26

Vasodilation

Back 26

an increase in the caliber (lumen) of blood vessels

Front 27

aerobic

Back 27

requiring oxygen

Front 28

Anaerobic

Back 28

involves activity in which the muscles cannot draw out enough oxygen from the blood stream; used in endurance training

Front 29

Approximated

Back 29

closed tissue surfaces

Front 30

Bandage

Back 30

a strip of cloth used to wrap some part of the body

Front 31

Binder

Back 31

a type of bandage applied to large body areas (abdomen or chest) or for a specific body part (arm sling); used to provide support

Front 32

Collagen

Back 32

a protein found in connective tissue; a whitish protein substance that adds tensile strength to a wound

Front 33

Compress

Back 33

a moist gauze dressing applied frequently to an open wound, sometimes medicated

Front 34

Debridement

Back 34

removal of infected and necrotic tissue

Front 35

Dehiscence

Back 35

the partial or total rupturing of a sutured wound; usually involves an abdominal wound in which the layers below the skin also separate

Front 36

Eschar

Back 36

thick necrotic tissue produced by burning, by a corrosive application, or by death of tissue associated with loss of vascular supply, bacterial invasion, and putrefaction

Front 37

Evisceration

Back 37

extrusion of the internal organs

Front 38

Excoriation

Back 38

loss of the superficial layers of the skin

Front 39

Exudate

Back 39

material, such as fluid and cells, that has escaped from blood vessels during the inflammatory process and is deposited in tissue or on tissue surfaces

Front 40

Fibrin

Back 40

an insoluble protein formed from fibrinogen during the clotting of blood

Front 41

Friction

Back 41

rubbing; the force that opposes motion

Front 42

Back 42

young connective tissue with new capillaries formed in the wound healing process

Front 43

Hematoma

Back 43

a collection of blood in a tissue, organ, or space due to a break in the wall of a blood vessel
