QUESTIONS, ANSWERS AND RATIONALES.
1. A nurse is assessing pressure ulcers on four clients to evaluate the effectiveness of a change in the
wound care procedure. Which of the following findings indicate wound healing.
a. Erythema on the skin surrounding a client's wound
b. Deep red color on the centre of the clients wound
c. Inflammation noted on the tissue edges of a client's wound
d. Increase in serosanguineous exudate from the clients' wound (damaged capillaries)
Rationale: Leadership 7.0 pg 329:
- Stages of Wound Healing
- Inflammatory stage - beginning stage, also usually suggests infection
- Begins with the injury and lasts 3 to 6 days
- Effects to the wound: controlling bleeding with vasoconstriction and retraction of
blood vessels, and with clot formation. Delivering oxygen, WBCs, nutrients to the
area via the blood supply. Hemostasis occurs along with fibrin formation.
Macrophages engulf microorganisms and cellular debris (phagocytosis).
- Proliferative stage
- Lasts the next 3 to 24 days
- Effects to the wound: replacing lost tissue with connective or granulated tissue or
collagen. Contracting the wound’s edges. Resurfacing of new epithelial cells. Healthy
granulation tissue does not bleed easily. Dark granulation tissue can be a sign of
infection, ischemia, or poor perfusion. In the final phase of the proliferative stage of
wound healing, epithelial cells resurface the injury.
- Maturation or remodelling stage
- Occurs after day 21 and involves the strengthening of the collagen scar and
restoration of a more normal appearance. It can take more than 1 year to complete,
depending on the extent of the original wound. When scar tissues are forming.
- Appearance:
- Note the color of open wounds.
- Red: healthy regeneration of tissue.
- Yellow: the presence of purulent drainage and slough
- Black: the presence of eschar that hinders healing and requires removal.
