Question
Answer
list 8 wound assessment parameters   location, size, wound edges, wound bed, periwound skin, exudate, odor, signs of infection, extent of tissue loss,  
🗑
describe three methods for wound measurement   linear, (length, width and depth, tunneling, undermining) planimetry  
🗑
identify three wound classification systems   Burns (degrees) pressure ulcers (NUPUAP) skin tears, radiation dermatitis  
🗑
discuss tools for documentation and evaluation of healing   PUSH, BWAT/PSST, measurements for ongoing assessment and comparison  
🗑
distinguish between viable and nonviable tissue   epithelial or granulating tissue, or slough, necrotic, or stagnant tissue (nongranulating)  
🗑
describe how to measure length, width and depth of a wound   Head to toe, Side to side, depth by using swab and measuring the length that does in. Uses clock face to describe location.  
🗑
how should the periwound be assessed?   color, moisture, texture, presence or absence of injury  
🗑
describe how to measure a wound using a two dimensional measurement   Length and width  
🗑
what is the difference between undermining and tunneling in a wound   Undermining is broader, like from 12oclock to 3 o'clock tunneling is narrow she heads in one direction  
🗑
what are the critical parameters to include when assessing   wound etiology, duration of wound, cofactors that impede healing  
🗑
identify the wound evaluation process   wound focused physical assessment-all wound assessment parameters plus cofactors  
🗑
discuss the controversy regarding photography of wounds   HIPPA, consent, quality of phto, ability to be altered, blurred or poor quality photo could be interpreted as poor wound care  
🗑
identify 10 wound assessment parameters   Location, partial or full thickness loss, tissue in wound base, %of slough or necrotic tiss., dimensions, undermining, exudate, odor, wound edges, periwound skin,wound pain  
🗑
name four classification systems based on etiology   pressure ulcer staging, (I-IV) skin tear (Payne Martin), venous ulcers (CEAP), and diabetic neuropathic wounds (Wagner Grade)  
🗑
describe health granulation tissue   Red, moist, cobblestone appearance  
🗑
a wound assessed to have smooth, red tissue would be documented as _____   Clean, non granulating  
🗑
an overproduction of granulation tissue is documented as _____   Hypergranulation  
🗑
premature closure of wound edges that are thickened and rolled down is called __________   Epibole  
🗑
identify periwound conditions of a pressure ulcer   hyperemia, edema, induration, discoloration  
🗑
name one wound assessment tool   Bates - Jensen wound assessment tool (PSST) PUSH / NUPUAP  
🗑
what is the name of the comprehensive assessment tool for Medicare payment to home care agencies?   OASIS  
🗑
How would extent of tissue loss be described   Classification, partial or full thickness , or stage  
🗑
How would a wound base be described   Color -red,, tan, black, pink, white, etc. viable (red, moist, = granulation pink and dry=epithelial tissue), nonviable ( slough or eschar)  
🗑
How would exudate be described   Quantity- (light, moderate, heavy) or in ml's. type – clear, Sanguineous, serosanguineous, purulent  
🗑
List cofactors to include in assessment   Tissue oxygenation, bacterial load, circulation, nutrition, glycemic control, comorbidities  
🗑
How would periwound skin be described   Color, texture, temperature, integrity,presence or absence of lesions  
🗑
wound assessment cofactors   nutrition, underlying disease, oxygenation, glycemic control, bacterial load, circulation  
🗑
how is the extent and significance of bioburdern conveyed   contamination, colonization, critical colonization, biofilm, infection  
🗑
wound bed descriptions   necrotic, nonviable, devitalized, eschar, slough, scab (not eschar) gran. tissue, clean nongranulating, epithelial  
🗑
periwound features of venous insufficiency   edema, brawny discoloration, hemosiderin staining, lipoderatosclerosis, dermatitis, scaling, weeping  
🗑
periwound features of arterial   pale color, cool, dependent rubor, absent hair, xerosis  
🗑
periwound features of infection   erythema, pain heat, swelling, induration  
🗑
periwound features of pressure   hyperemia, edema, induration, discoloration  
🗑
periwound features of peripheral neuropathy   insensate, edema, cellulitis, erythema, induration  
🗑
periwound features of pyoderma gangrenosum   ragged and boggy borders, elevated borders, dusky red or purple, halo of edema  
🗑
periwound features of vasculitis   palpable, nonblanchable purpura, may have petechiae, nodules and vesicles may be present  
🗑
periwound features of calciphylaxis   dusky, purple, palpable nodules progress to necrosis and ulceration, associated with renal disease, may include mottled, reticulated patches, plaques with focal central necrosis  
🗑
periwound features of candidiasis   pustular or macular-papular rash, erythematous satellite lesions  
🗑
parameters for skin assessment   color, turgor, texture, temperature, lesions, moisture  
🗑
