You should change the bandage immediately if:
-
There is strikethrough
-
Wet
-
Soiled
-
Bandage is causing a sore
-
Malodorous
Correct Answer(s)
A. There is strikethrough
A. Wet
A. Soiled
A. Bandage is causing a sore
A. MalodorousExplanation
The correct answer is that the bandage should be changed immediately if it is strikethrough, wet, soiled, causing a sore, or malodorous. Strikethrough refers to any liquid that has penetrated through the bandage, indicating that it is no longer providing a barrier to protect the wound. A wet or soiled bandage can harbor bacteria and increase the risk of infection. If the bandage is causing a sore, it may be too tight or rubbing against the skin, leading to further damage. A malodorous bandage may indicate the presence of infection or other complications.Rate this question:

-
Cast padding, rolled gauze, stirrups, vetwrap
Correct Answer
A. Stirrups, cast padding, rolled gauze, vetwrapExplanation
The correct answer is stirrups, cast padding, rolled gauze, vetwrap. In a Modified Robert-Jones bandage, the stirrups are placed first to provide support to the limb. Next, cast padding is applied to provide cushioning and absorbency. Rolled gauze is then wrapped around the limb to secure the padding and provide additional support. Finally, vetwrap is used to secure the bandage in place and provide compression.Rate this question:

Correct Answer(s)
A. Distal limb fractures
A. Have more roll cotton than a modified robert-jonesExplanation
Robert-Jones bandages are commonly used for immobilizing distal limb fractures. They provide a high degree of support and stability to the affected limb. Additionally, Robert-Jones bandages typically have more roll cotton compared to a modified Robert-Jones bandage. The increased amount of roll cotton helps to provide additional padding and protection to the injured area, aiding in the healing process.Rate this question:

Preformed splints
-
Are designed for a specific position on the limb
-
Can be used interchangeably for any distal limb fracture
-
Can be made of glass
-
Always have to be specially made for the patient
Correct Answer
A. Are designed for a specific position on the limbExplanation
Preformed splints are designed for a specific position on the limb, meaning they are created to fit and support a particular area of the body. This suggests that they are not interchangeable for any distal limb fracture, as each fracture may require a different type of splint. Additionally, the fact that they are designed for a specific position implies that they may not be made of glass, as glass splints would likely not be flexible or adjustable to fit different positions. Lastly, the statement suggests that preformed splints do not always have to be specially made for the patient, as they are already designed for a specific position on the limb.Rate this question:

Bandages are used for
-
Preventing wound contamination
-
Debridement
-
Maintaining a moist wound environment
-
Applying pressure
-
Immobilization of tissues
-
Reducing swelling
Correct Answer(s)
A. Preventing wound contamination
A. Debridement
A. Maintaining a moist wound environment
A. Applying pressure
A. Immobilization of tissues
A. Reducing swellingExplanation
Bandages are used for preventing wound contamination by covering the wound and preventing bacteria or dirt from entering. They are also used for debridement, which involves removing dead tissue from the wound to promote healing. Bandages help in maintaining a moist wound environment, which is essential for wound healing. They can apply pressure to control bleeding and promote clotting. Bandages also help in immobilizing tissues, which can aid in preventing further injury or promoting healing. Additionally, they can help in reducing swelling by providing support and compression to the affected area.Rate this question:

What is false about splints?
-
The splint must extend well beyond the area it is to support
-
Padding must extend beyond the splint
-
You must always leave the toes showing
-
Too much padding will result in loss of stability
Correct Answer
A. You must always leave the toes showingExplanation
The statement "you must always leave the toes showing" is false. When applying a splint, it is important to cover the entire injured area, including the toes, for proper support and immobilization. Leaving the toes exposed can lead to inadequate stabilization and potential further injury.Rate this question:

A spica splint is used for:
-
Distal limb fractures
-
To prevent weight bearing on a pelvic limb
-
To prevent weight bearing on a thoracic limb
-
Stabilization of the humerus and femur
Correct Answer
A. Stabilization of the humerus and femurExplanation
A spica splint is used to stabilize the humerus and femur. This type of splint is commonly used in cases of fractures or injuries to these specific bones. By immobilizing and providing support to the humerus and femur, the spica splint helps in promoting proper healing and preventing further damage to the affected area. It is important to stabilize these bones as they are crucial weight-bearing bones in the body.Rate this question:

dog is wearing
-
Velpeau sling
-
Ehmer sling
-
Robinson sling
Correct Answer
A. Ehmer slingExplanation
The correct answer is the ehmer sling. The ehmer sling is used to immobilize the hind limb of a dog, specifically the hip joint. It is commonly used in cases of hip subluxation or dislocation. The sling is applied by wrapping a bandage around the dog's hind limb and pelvis, securing it in a flexed position. This helps to reduce pain and prevent further injury while allowing the dog to move around to some extent. The velpeau sling and Robinson sling are not applicable in this context.Rate this question:

When wrapping a bandage, you should always work:
-
Proximal to distal
-
Distal to proximal
-
Lateral to medial
-
Medial to lateral
Correct Answer
A. Distal to proximalExplanation
When wrapping a bandage, it is important to work from distal to proximal. This means starting at the farthest point from the body and moving towards the body. This technique helps to promote venous return and prevent swelling. By starting at the distal end, the bandage provides support and compression to the area being wrapped, gradually decreasing in pressure as it moves towards the body. This method is commonly used to treat injuries such as sprains, strains, and edema.Rate this question:

How much should you overlap your layers when wrapping a bandage?
-
Just enough to touch the last layer
-
25%
-
50%
-
75%
Correct Answer
A. 50%Explanation
When wrapping a bandage, it is recommended to overlap the layers by 50%. This ensures that the bandage is secure and stays in place without being too tight or too loose. Overlapping the layers by 50% allows the bandage to provide adequate compression and support to the injured area while still allowing for proper circulation. It also helps to prevent the bandage from unraveling or slipping off.Rate this question:
