Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line
To print: Ctrl+PPrint as a list

5 notecards = 2 pages (4 cards per page)

SWM Module 6:Principles of Wound Mgt. / Wound Classifications

front 1

Which of the following is a primary benefit of maintaining a moist wound environment?

A. Prevents the formation of necrotic tissue

B. Increases transepidermal water loss

C. Promotes the formation of scabs

D. Reduces the risk of systemic infection

back 1

A- maintaining a moist wound environment helps prevent the formation of necrotic tissue by promoting autolytic debridement and supporting healthy tissue growth. Another benefit includes decreased pain for the patient.

front 2

What is a key disadvantage of using dry wound healing techniques?

A. Increases angiogenesis

B. Accelerates the re-epithelialization process

C. Causes cell death due to dehydration

D. Reduces pain in the wound area

back 2

C- dry wound healing can lead to cell death due to dehydration. This allows for scabs to form, which slows the healing process.

front 3

What does the "T" in TIMERS stand for?

A. Temperature control

B. Tissue management

C. Topical antibiotics

D. Transdermal medication

back 3

B- the T stands for tissue management, which involves removing non-viable tissue to promote healthy wound healing. This process is known as debridement and can be done in many ways.

front 4

What is the focus of moisture balance in the TIMERS framework?

A. Reducing exudate production to zero

B. Using only hydrocolloid dressings

C. Ensuring the wound is completely dry

D. Maintaining optimal moisture levels for healing

back 4

D- Moisture balance involves maintaining optimal moisture levels to promote healing and prevent complications. The goal is to maintain an optimal moisture level using appropriate treatments such as absorptive or moisture-retentive dressings.

front 5

A patient presents with a large venous leg ulcer exhibiting moderate exudate. Which dressing would be most appropriate to effectively manage the moisture while facilitating the healing process?

A. Dry gauze

B. Foam dressing

C. Transparent film dressing

D. Wet-to-dry dressing

back 5

B- foam dressings are highly absorbent and help manage excessive exudate while maintaining a moist environment. High exudate levels can result in maceration and denudement of the surrounding tissues, significant protein loss, and electrolyte imbalances.
