The skin is also known as the ______
Explanation
The skin is commonly referred to as the integument, integumentary, or integumentary system. These terms all describe the same thing, which is the external covering of the body that protects it from the environment. The integumentary system includes not only the skin but also the hair, nails, and various glands.Rate this question:
- 2.
The skin has ___ layers, in addition to the subcutaneous tissue layer
Explanation
The skin is composed of two main layers, the epidermis and the dermis. The epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin, providing protection and preventing water loss. The dermis is located beneath the epidermis and contains various structures such as blood vessels, hair follicles, and sweat glands. These two layers work together to maintain the integrity and function of the skin. The subcutaneous tissue layer, also known as the hypodermis, is located beneath the dermis and serves as a layer of insulation and padding for the body.Rate this question:
- 3.
The dermis does not consist of
- A.
Connective tissue
- B.
Nerves
- C.
Hair
- D.
Blood vessels
- E.
None of the above
Correct Answer
E. None of the aboveExplanation
The dermis is the middle layer of the skin, composed mainly of connective tissue that provides strength and flexibility. It contains nerves that transmit sensory information, allowing us to feel touch, pain, and temperature. The dermis also houses hair follicles, which are responsible for hair growth. Additionally, it is rich in blood vessels that supply nutrients and oxygen to the skin. Therefore, all the options mentioned (connective tissue, nerves, hair, and blood vessels) are present in the dermis, making the correct answer "None of the above".Rate this question:

Which of the functions of the skin is defned as "water, electrolytes, and nitrogenous wastes are excreted in small amounts of sweat"
Correct Answer
eliminationExplanation
Elimination refers to the process of excreting waste products from the body. In this context, the function of the skin as elimination is described as the excretion of water, electrolytes, and nitrogenous wastes through sweat. Sweat glands in the skin help in regulating body temperature by producing sweat, which contains these waste products. This process aids in maintaining the balance of electrolytes and removing toxins from the body.Rate this question:

Which of the following influence resistance of skin integrity?
- A.
Age
- B.
Amount of underlying tissue
- C.
Illness
- D.
All of the above
- E.
None of the above
Correct Answer
D. All of the aboveExplanation
All of the factors mentioned - age, amount of underlying tissue, and illness - can influence the resistance of skin integrity. Age can affect the elasticity and thickness of the skin, making it more prone to damage. The amount of underlying tissue can provide support and protection to the skin, affecting its ability to resist damage. Illnesses can weaken the immune system and impair the body's ability to heal, making the skin more susceptible to breakdown. Therefore, all of these factors can play a role in influencing the resistance of skin integrity.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
avulsionExplanation
The type of wound described in the question is an avulsion. Avulsion refers to the tearing or separation of skin or tissue from the body. In this case, the militants are peeling the skin off the captive, which involves forcefully removing layers of skin from the body. This results in a severe and traumatic injury, causing significant damage and pain to the victim.Rate this question:
- 11.
What classification of wounds is a result from a blow, force, or strain caused by trauma, such as a fall or car accident.
Correct Answer
closed wound, closedExplanation
A closed wound is a classification of wounds that occurs when there is no break in the skin. It is caused by a blow, force, or strain from trauma, such as a fall or car accident. In this type of wound, the skin remains intact, but there may be damage to underlying tissues, muscles, or organs. The term "closed" refers to the fact that there is no open wound or visible break in the skin.Rate this question:

This classification of wounds remains in the inflammatory phase of healing.
Correct Answer
chronic, chronic woundExplanation
The given correct answer is "chronic, chronic wound." This classification of wounds suggests that the wound is in the inflammatory phase of healing. Chronic wounds are those that do not heal within the expected timeframe and often remain in the inflammatory phase for an extended period. This can be due to various factors such as poor blood supply, underlying health conditions, or repeated trauma to the wound site. Therefore, the presence of chronic wounds indicates that the wound is still in the inflammatory phase of healing.Rate this question:

There are ____ types of wound healing.
Correct Answer
3
threeExplanation
The correct answer is 3, three. The question asks for the number of types of wound healing. Wound healing can be categorized into three main types: primary intention, secondary intention, and tertiary intention. Primary intention occurs when the wound edges are brought together and closed with sutures, staples, or adhesive. Secondary intention refers to the healing process where the wound is left open to heal from the bottom up, and it usually occurs in larger wounds with significant tissue loss. Tertiary intention, also known as delayed primary closure, combines elements of both primary and secondary intention and involves initially leaving the wound open to allow for drainage and then closing it later.Rate this question:

Lois Griffin has just had a heart transplant. The doctor made an incision into the chest, performed the surgery, and sutured the incision. This is:
- A.
Primary intention
- B.
Delayed primary intention
- C.
Secondary intention
- D.
Tertiary intention
- E.
A and B
Correct Answer
A. Primary intentionExplanation
Primary intention refers to the healing process of a surgical wound where the edges of the incision are brought together and closed with sutures or staples, allowing for a faster and more organized healing process. In this case, Lois Griffin's incision was made, the surgery was performed, and then the incision was sutured, indicating that the wound was closed immediately after the surgery, following the primary intention healing process.Rate this question:
-
- 16.
Which type of intention is characterized by intentional wounds with minimal tissue loss, in which the edges are closely approximated?
Correct Answer
primary
primary intentionExplanation
Primary intention refers to a type of intention characterized by intentional wounds with minimal tissue loss, in which the edges are closely approximated. This means that the wound is clean, with little to no tissue damage, and the edges of the wound can easily be brought together for proper healing. Primary intention is often used for surgical incisions or wounds that can be easily closed with sutures or other methods to promote rapid healing and minimize scarring.Rate this question:
- 17.
Which type of intention is defined as having edges that are not well approximated.
Correct Answer
secondary
secondary intentionExplanation
Secondary intention is a type of intention that is defined as having edges that are not well approximated. This means that when a wound or injury heals through secondary intention, the edges of the wound do not come together neatly or smoothly. Instead, the wound is left open to heal from the bottom up, with new tissue filling in the gap over time. This type of healing is often seen in larger or deeper wounds, where the edges cannot be easily brought together or closed with sutures or staples.Rate this question:
- 18.
A large or open wound, such as a burn or major trauma, left alone to heal is:
- A.
Primary intention
- B.
Delayed primary intention
- C.
Secondary intention
- D.
Tertiary intention
- E.
None of the above
Correct Answer
C. Secondary intentionExplanation
Secondary intention refers to the healing process of a large or open wound, such as a burn or major trauma, that is left alone to heal without surgical closure. In this process, the wound is allowed to heal naturally by granulation tissue formation, contraction, and epithelialization. This differs from primary intention where the wound edges are brought together and closed with sutures, and from delayed primary intention where the wound is initially left open but later closed surgically. Tertiary intention refers to a wound that is initially left open but is later closed surgically after a period of healing by secondary intention.Rate this question:

Imagine you are an ER nurse. You're working the night shift on Friday night when you are first introduced to Mr. Griffin. Mr. Griffin has had an accident because he was throwing knives for recreation. Somehow, the patient managed to slice a severely large wound in his arm. The doctors have decided to allow the wound to heal on its own for a few days. Mr. Griffin comes back to the ER several days later (as instructed by the doctors) and the physican decides it is appropriate to suture the wound now. What kind of wound healing has occurred.
- A.
Primary intention
- B.
Delayed primary intention
- C.
Tertiary intention
- D.
B and C
- E.
A and C
Correct Answer
D. B and CExplanation
The correct answer is B and C. In this scenario, Mr. Griffin's wound has undergone delayed primary intention and tertiary intention healing. Delayed primary intention occurs when a wound is initially left open to heal through granulation tissue formation, and then later sutured. Tertiary intention, also known as delayed closure, involves leaving a wound open for a significant amount of time to allow for cleaning and healing of the wound bed, and then closing it with sutures. In Mr. Griffin's case, the wound was initially left open to heal on its own (delayed primary intention) and then sutured several days later (tertiary intention).Rate this question:

Which phase of wound healing occurs first?
Correct Answer
Inflammatory PhaseExplanation
The first phase of wound healing is the "Inflammatory Phase," during which the body responds to the injury with inflammation. This phase aims to control bleeding, prevent infection, and initiate the healing process by recruiting immune cells and releasing growth factors to prepare the wound for repair.Rate this question:
- 21.
In the inflammatory phase of wound healing, this type of white blood cell arrive first to ingest bacteria and cellular debris .
- A.
Leukocytes
- B.
Macrophages
- C.
Fibroblasts
- D.
A and B
- E.
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. LeukocytesExplanation
During the inflammatory phase of wound healing, leukocytes are the first type of white blood cells to arrive at the site of injury. They play a crucial role in the immune response by ingesting bacteria and cellular debris through a process called phagocytosis. This helps to eliminate pathogens and clean up the damaged tissue, preparing the wound for the next phase of healing. Macrophages, which are a type of leukocyte, also participate in this process. Therefore, the correct answer is leukocytes.Rate this question:

In which phase do blood vessels constrict to allow blood clotting and then dilate to increase capillary permeability; this allows plasma and blood components to leak out into the area that is injured
- A.
Hemostasis
- B.
Inflammatory phase
- C.
Proliferation phase
- D.
A and B
- E.
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. HemostasisExplanation
During the process of hemostasis, blood vessels initially constrict to reduce blood flow and allow blood clotting to occur. This constriction helps to prevent excessive bleeding. After clot formation, the blood vessels then dilate to increase capillary permeability. This increased permeability allows plasma and blood components to leak out into the injured area, facilitating the healing process by delivering necessary nutrients and immune cells. Therefore, the correct answer is Hemostasis.Rate this question:

- 23.
Acute inflammation occurs in which of the phases of wound healing
Correct Answer
inflammatory
inflammatory phase
inflammation
inflammation phaseExplanation
The correct answer is "inflammatory phase" or "inflammation phase". Acute inflammation is a normal response of the body to injury or infection, and it is one of the initial phases of wound healing. During this phase, blood vessels dilate, allowing increased blood flow to the injured area. This results in redness, swelling, heat, and pain. The inflammatory phase helps to remove debris, pathogens, and damaged tissue from the wound site and initiates the healing process.Rate this question:

Granulation tissue, which forms the foundation for scar tissue development, is made in which phase of wound healing? (make sure to include the word "phase" in the answer)
Correct Answer
proliferation phase, fibroblastic phase, regenerative phase, connective tissue phase, proliferative phaseExplanation
Granulation tissue, which forms the foundation for scar tissue development, is made in the proliferation phase of wound healing. During this phase, fibroblasts migrate to the wound site and begin to synthesize collagen and other extracellular matrix components. This leads to the formation of granulation tissue, which is rich in blood vessels and provides a scaffold for new tissue growth. The proliferation phase is an important step in wound healing, as it prepares the wound for the next phase of remodeling and maturation.Rate this question:
- 25.
What type of tissue forms the foundation for scar tissue development
Correct Answer
granulation tissue, granulationExplanation
Granulation tissue is a type of tissue that forms during the healing process of a wound. It is composed of new blood vessels, fibroblasts, and inflammatory cells. Granulation tissue acts as the foundation for scar tissue development by providing a scaffold for the migration of cells involved in tissue repair. As the wound heals, the granulation tissue is gradually replaced by collagen fibers, resulting in the formation of scar tissue. Therefore, granulation tissue plays a crucial role in the formation and organization of scar tissue.Rate this question:

During which phase of wound healing is generalized body response most notably present?
- A.
Hemostasis
- B.
Inflammatory phase
- C.
Proliferation phase
- D.
Maturation phase
- E.
Fibroblastic phase
Correct Answer
B. Inflammatory phaseExplanation
During the inflammatory phase of wound healing, the body's immune response is most notably present. This phase begins immediately after injury and lasts for approximately 3-5 days. It is characterized by the release of chemical mediators, such as histamine and prostaglandins, which cause vasodilation and increased permeability of blood vessels. This allows immune cells, such as neutrophils and macrophages, to migrate to the site of injury and remove any debris or pathogens. The inflammatory phase is crucial for initiating the healing process and preparing the wound for the subsequent phases of healing.Rate this question:

True or False:In wounds that heal by primary intention, epidermal cells seal the wound within 24 to 28 hours and the granulation tissue is visible.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
In wounds that heal by primary intention, epidermal cells do not seal the wound within 24 to 28 hours. The correct timeline for epidermal cell sealing is within 48 to 72 hours. Additionally, in wounds that heal by primary intention, the granulation tissue is not visible, as this type of healing involves minimal tissue loss and the wound edges are brought together, resulting in minimal scar formation.Rate this question:

True or False:Repeated trauma to a wound area results in delayed healing or the inability to heal. This is a systemic factor that affects wound healing.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
Repeated trauma to a wound area does not necessarily result in delayed healing or the inability to heal. While it is true that trauma can impede the healing process, it is not always the case. Factors such as the severity of the trauma, the individual's overall health, and proper wound care can also influence the healing process. Therefore, it is incorrect to claim that repeated trauma always affects wound healing as a systemic factor.Rate this question:

______ at a wound site interferes with the blood supply to the area, resulting in an inadequate supply of oxygen and nutrients to the tissue. It is a local factor that affects wound healing. (2 possibe answers are correct)
Correct Answer
edema, pressureExplanation
Edema refers to the accumulation of fluid in the tissues, causing swelling. When edema occurs at a wound site, it can compress blood vessels and impede the flow of blood to the area. This reduced blood supply hinders the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the tissue, thereby affecting wound healing. Similarly, pressure applied to a wound can also disrupt the blood supply, leading to insufficient oxygen and nutrient availability for tissue repair. Both edema and pressure act as local factors that interfere with the blood supply and impede wound healing.Rate this question:
- 31.
What local factor (that affects wound healing) requires large amounts of energy be spent by the immune system to fight the invaders, leaving little or no reserves to attend to the attend to the job of repair and healing.
- A.
Infection
- B.
Edema
- C.
Desiccation
- D.
Maceration
- E.
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. InfectionExplanation
Infection is the correct answer because when the body is invaded by pathogens, the immune system needs to use a large amount of energy to fight off these invaders. This energy expenditure leaves little or no reserves for the immune system to focus on the job of repair and healing. Infection can delay or impair the wound healing process as the immune system is primarily focused on combating the infection rather than promoting tissue repair.Rate this question:

Dr. Hartman has diagnosed Peter Griffin as obese because he has large amounts of subcutaneous and tissue fat. This:
- A.
Slows down healing because fat tissue is more prone to infection
- B.
Slows down healing because fat tissue has fewer blood vessels
- C.
Slows down healing because fat tissue is more difficult to suture
- D.
All of the above
- E.
None of the above
Correct Answer
D. All of the aboveExplanation
The correct answer is "All of the above" because all three statements are true. Fat tissue is more prone to infection, as it provides a favorable environment for bacterial growth. Fat tissue has fewer blood vessels, which means that there is less blood flow to the area, resulting in slower healing. Additionally, fat tissue is more difficult to suture because it is less firm and may not hold sutures as securely as other tissues. Therefore, all of these factors contribute to slowing down healing in individuals with large amounts of subcutaneous and tissue fat.Rate this question:

True or False:Oxygenation of tissues is decreased in people with anemia.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
In people with anemia, there is a decrease in the number of red blood cells or a decrease in the amount of hemoglobin in the blood. Since red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen to the tissues, a decrease in their number or function leads to reduced oxygenation of the tissues. Therefore, the statement "Oxygenation of tissues is decreased in people with anemia" is true.Rate this question:

True or False:Healing can occur despite necrotic tissue in the wound.
- A.
True
- B.
False
- C.
Sometimes
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
False. Healing cannot occur despite necrotic tissue in the wound. Necrotic tissue refers to dead or dying tissue, which can hinder the healing process. It can delay wound closure, increase the risk of infection, and prevent the formation of healthy granulation tissue. Removing the necrotic tissue through debridement is often necessary for proper wound healing to take place.Rate this question:

The presence of pathogenic organisms in the blood or tissue
- B.
Bone infection
- C.
Infection of the intestine
- D.
A and B
- E.
None of the above
Correct Answer
B. Bone infectionExplanation
The correct answer is "bone infection" because osteomyelitis refers to the infection and inflammation of the bone and bone marrow. It is caused by pathogenic organisms entering the bone through the bloodstream, nearby tissues, or open wounds. This condition can lead to pain, swelling, and fever, and if left untreated, it can cause bone destruction and other complications. Therefore, the presence of pathogenic organisms in the blood or tissue is not a complete definition of osteomyelitis, and it is not related to the infection of the intestine.Rate this question:

E. B and CExplanation
The correct answer is B and C. Pressure ulcers and bedsores are both common forms of skin and tissue disruption. Pressure ulcers occur due to prolonged pressure on the skin, often in individuals who are immobile or bedridden. Bedsores, also known as decubitus ulcers, develop when pressure restricts blood flow to an area of the body, leading to tissue damage. Both conditions can be painful and require proper medical attention and care to prevent complications.Rate this question:

Mayor Adam West, because of minor brain impairment
- C.
Joe Swanson, because he is a paraplegic
- D.
Stewie Griffin, because he is an infant
- E.
The evil monkey, because he is an evil monkey
Correct Answer
C. Joe Swanson, because he is a paraplegicExplanation
Joe Swanson is the most at risk for a pressure ulcer because he is a paraplegic. Paraplegia is a condition that impairs or eliminates movement and sensation in the lower extremities, making it difficult for individuals to change positions or relieve pressure on certain areas of the body. This prolonged pressure can lead to the development of pressure ulcers, also known as bedsores. Obesity, minor brain impairment, being an infant, or being an evil monkey do not inherently increase the risk of pressure ulcers.Rate this question:
