A common type of closed wound is a(n)

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Contusion. A contusion is a type of closed wound caused by blunt force trauma, resulting in damaged blood vessels and surrounding tissues without breaking the skin. This is different from the other choices: B) Puncture, which involves penetration of the skin by a sharp object, C) Incision, which is a deliberate cut made by a sharp object, and D) Laceration, which is a jagged or irregular tear in the skin caused by a sharp object. Therefore, based on the definition of a contusion as a closed wound from blunt force trauma without breaking the skin, it is the correct choice in this scenario.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Burns. Diminished sensation following a cerebrovascular accident can lead to the inability to feel pain or temperature changes, increasing the risk of burns from hot surfaces or liquids. This is because the individual may not be able to sense when they are being burned, making them more susceptible to injuries. Rashes and warts (Option A) are not directly related to diminished sensation. Decreased urination (Option B) is more likely to be associated with issues in the urinary system rather than diminished sensation. Seizures (Option D) are neurological events that are not directly caused by diminished sensation.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Remission. Remission refers to the disappearance of signs and symptoms of cancer, indicating a response to treatment. Metastasis (A) is the spread of cancer to other parts of the body, not the disappearance of symptoms. Breakthrough (C) typically refers to the development of new symptoms or complications during treatment. Intervention (D) involves taking action to address a problem, not specifically related to the disappearance of cancer symptoms. Therefore, remission is the most appropriate term for the disappearance of signs and symptoms of cancer.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Pressure injuries are a common complication of immobility for the integumentary system due to prolonged pressure on the skin, leading to tissue damage. This can occur when a person remains in one position for an extended period, causing reduced blood flow and tissue breakdown. The other choices, constipation, blood clots, and muscle atrophy, are more related to the effects of immobility on other body systems such as the gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and musculoskeletal systems respectively. However, pressure injuries specifically affect the skin and underlying tissues, making it the correct choice in this case.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Acceptance. During the stage of acceptance, a person comes to terms with their impending death and begins to make peace with it. This stage involves a sense of calmness and readiness. Bargaining (A) involves trying to negotiate with a higher power to avoid death. Depression (B) entails feelings of sadness and hopelessness. Denial (C) is characterized by refusing to accept the reality of death. Acceptance is the final stage of the dying process as described by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, indicating readiness and peace.
