Skin Integrity and Wound Care Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
In discussing options for fluid resuscitation during major surgery, bloodless surgery may include which intervention?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Bloodless surgery avoids transfusions. Volume expanders e.g., saline replace fluid without blood, per surgical protocols. Epogen boosts red cells pre-op, not during. Hypothermia preserves oxygen, not fluid-focused. Banking blood implies transfusion, contradicting bloodless aims. Expanders maintain circulation, a common LPN-monitored intervention, making this the correct and most relevant option.
Question 2 of 5
To promote wound healing, you instruct the patient to eat foods high in protein. Which choice warrants further teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Protein aids wound healing (collagen synthesis). Caesar salad with bread lacks significant protein, per nutrition guidelines, needing reteaching. Tuna (Choice B), cheese (Choice C), and chicken provide protein (10-20g/serving). Salad's low protein (lettuce, dressing) fails healing needs, an LPN dietary focus, making it the correct choice for further instruction.
Question 3 of 5
During an assessment, you note fever, fatigue, weakness, cold and clammy skin, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. The body is fighting infection by:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: These signs fever, clammy skin, nausea reflect inflammation (Choice B), the body's initial infection fight, per pathophysiology. Antigen-antibody is specific immunity, later. Interferon targets viruses. Acquired immunity develops over time. Inflammation vasodilation, cytokine release causes symptoms, an LPN observation, making it the correct response.
Question 4 of 5
Which intervention would you implement for a patient with active pulmonary TB who is socially isolated due to airborne precautions?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Isolation causes loneliness. Suggesting email/phone contact maintains social ties safely, per holistic care, easing isolation. Limiting visitors restricts further. NA presence isn't feasible long-term. Rationale educates but doesn't connect. Alternative contact balances safety and well-being, an LPN intervention, making it the correct choice.
Question 5 of 5
A 25-year-old woman with a minor laceration moans about arm pain after an accident with her son. Her expression of pain is possibly influenced by:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Pain expression varies. Worry about her son heightens anxiety, amplifying pain perception, per stress-pain links. Blood may shock but not sustain moaning. Culture influences but lacks context here. Relief reduces stress. Maternal concern drives intensity, an LPN note, making it the correct influence.
