1. Dressings are recommended for acute wounds to:
a. Keep the wound clean
b. Enhance growth factors and cytokines within wound fluid
c. Promote autolysis
c. Promote cell proliferation because of low pH and hypoxia
2. In acute wound healing:
a. Ointments promote bacterial growth
b. Topical antibiotics should be applied to clean wounds
c. The wound should not be washed because water prevents healing
d. Polyurethane self-adhesive patches reduce the risk of hypertrophic scars
3. Hydrogels:
a. Have low absorptive capacity
b. May adhere directly to the skin
c. Help promote haemostasis
d. Are used to rehydrate dried-out necrotic eschar
5. For hydrocolloid dressings, which of the following statements apply?
a. Replacement of dermal matrix and epidermis is required
b. They may adhere directly to the skin
c. They cool the wound and can provide excellent pain relief
d. They are useful for partial thickness wounds from resurfacing procedures and skin graft donor sites
6. Foam dressings:
a. Have enhanced anti-bacterial activity
b. Provide padding that relieve pressure over bony prominences
c. Are often used to cover sites of IV insertion
d. Can be soaked off to avoid unnecessary debriding of the wound
7. For honey, which of the following statements apply?
a. It is applied to a surgical wound in a patient with excessive bleeding
b. The anti-bacterial effect from the New Zealand mānuka honey is labelled with its UMF
c. It can absorb only limited amounts of wound exudate
d. It has a hydrophobic property which promotes wound occlusion
8. Granulation tissue:
a. Is a highly vascular matrix of collagen and proteoglycans
b. Contains yellow viscous adherent slough
c. Has a dark black eschar composed of dead dermis
d. Has a pink margin to the wound
9. In sloughy wounds:
a. The aim is to rehydrate the dry scab so that it will separate off
b. Treatment involves packing with alginate fibre ribbon, silicone foam dressing or foam chips
c. The wounds need to be covered because they may have an unpleasant odour
d. Debriding is needed to remove the abnormal matrix of fibrin, exudate, inflammatory cells and bacteria
