| wound that is confined to the skin | partial thickness wound |
| wound that involves the skin and underlying subcutaneous tissue | full thickness wound |
| bright red flush on the skin after pressure is relieved | reactive hyperemia |
| a force acting parallel to the skin surface | friction |
| a combination of friction and pressure that tends to occur in high fowler's position | shearing force |
| a condition, usually due to inadequate serum protein levels, that makes the skin prone to injury | edema |
| tissue softened by prolonged wetting or soaking | maceration |
| nonblanchable erythema of intact skin | Stage I pressure ulcer |
| wound is approximated by staples or sutures | healing by primary intention |
| wound that is left open (unsutured) for tissue to fill in. | healing by secondary intention |
| initiated immedicately after injury and lasts 3 to 6 days | inflammatory phase |
| second healing phase in which granulation tissue develps | proliferative phase |
| the phase of healing in which collagen fibers rearrange into a more orderly fashion | maturation phase |
| material, such as fluid and cells, that has escaped from blood vessels during the inflammatory process | exudate |
| a watery exudate | serous |
| a thick exudate with pus | purulent |
| the process of pus formation | suppuration |
| bacteria that produce pus | pyogenic |
| an exudate that consists of large amounts of red blood cells | sanguineous |
| a complication of wound healing characterized by persistent bleeding | hemorrhage |
| a type of hemorrhage in which there is a localized collection of blood under the skin | hematoma |
| partial or total rupturing of a sutured wound | dehiscence |
| protrusion of internal viscera through an incision | evisceration |
| Clients at increased risk for wound healing complications due to minimal blood supply to certain tissue. These clients are: | obese |
| surface scrape | abrasion |
| the first action to take when caring for a wound at the site of an accident | apply pressure to control bleeding |
| when the patient is placed completely on his side for a prolonged period of time, pressure ulcers are most likely to develop at this site | trochanter |
| this wound type needs to be protected by covering it | red |
| this wound type needs cleansing | yellow (sloughy) |
| this wound type needs debridement before healing can begin | black |
| removal of necrotic material | debridement |
| a dressing that facilitates wound assessment | transparent adhesive films |
| a dressing that absorbs exudate and forms a seal | hydrocolloid |
| a dressing that liquefies necrotic tissue or slough | hydrogel |
| a solution that should be used on intact skin only | povidone-iodine |
