front 1 Which is a mechanical adjunct wound therapy used to promote healing in a chronic wound? | back 1 Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) is a mechanical adjunct wound therapy. Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) uses controlled suction to remove fluids and promote tissue growth. |
front 2 What type of adjunct wound therapy has living cells that promote tissue regeneration? Electrical stimulation Cultured living allografts Compression therapy Xenografts | back 2 Cultured living allografts are biological therapies that use living cells to promote tissue regeneration. Cultured living allografts are composed of epidermal cells, dermal cells, or both, supported by a biodegradable matrix. |
front 3 How does Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) aid in wound healing? By increasing tissue oxygenation By providing a moist wound environment By delivering electrical currents to the wound By using heat to stimulate cellular activities | back 3 By providing a moist wound environment * It provides a moist wound environment, promotes tissue growth, and removes exudate |
front 4 Your patient has a low pain tolerance and needs debridement of their wound bed to promote healing. Which is the least painful option? Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) Pulsed Lavage with Suction (PLWS) Low Frequency Ultrasound (LFU) Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatments (HBOT) | back 4 Low Frequency Ultrasound (LFU) *LFU, especially in non-contact mode, is the least painful option for debridement, making it suitable for patients with low pain tolerance. |
front 5 What adjunctive treatment is appropriate for soft tissue radionecrosis and helps promote healing by hyperoxygenation of the blood’s plasma? Low Frequency Ultrasound (LFU) Pulsed Lavage with Suction (PLWS) Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatments (HBOT) Topical oxygen therapy (TOT) | back 5 Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatments (HBOT) * HBOT is approved for the adjunctive treatment of soft tissue radionecrosis, which works by hyperoxygenation of blood’s plasma. |
front 6 What are the primary benefits of electrical stimulation (ES) in wound healing? Enhancing cellular activities and promoting tissue repair Providing a moist wound environment and removing exudate Increasing tissue oxygenation and reducing edema Delivering antimicrobial agents and reducing bacterial load | back 6 Enhancing cellular activities and promoting tissue repair Electrical stimulation enhances cellular activities, improves blood flow, and reduces inflammation to accelerate tissue repair. |
front 7 How does transdermal oxygen therapy (TOT) promote wound healing? By increasing white blood cell function By delivering oxygen directly to the wound bed By removing biofilm By controlling the wound’s moisture balance | back 7 By delivering oxygen directly to the wound bed * TOT enhances wound healing by delivering oxygen directly to the wound bed, supporting tissue repair. |
front 8 Your patient has a Wagner grade 3 diabetic neuropathic ulcer of their toe wound, additionally, they have decreased perfusion in the lower extremities. Which of the following is the MOST appropriate adjunctive treatment? Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) Electrical Stimulation (ES) Pulsed Lavage with Suction (PLWS) | back 8 Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) HBOT is most appropriate adjunctive treatment for this type of wound as it increases tissue oxygenation, promoting healing in areas with limited blood flow. |
front 9 Which therapy is considered a biological adjunct wound therapy? Pulsed Lavage with Suction (PLWS) Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Electrical stimulation Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) | back 9 PRP -Platelet-Rich Plasma * PRP uses the person's own platelets to promote healing, making it a biological therapy. |
front 10 What is a contraindication for pulsed lavage with suction (PLWS)? Pressure ulcers Wounds with uncontrolled bleeding Venous leg ulcers Surgical wounds | back 10 Wounds with uncontrolled bleeding PLWS should not be used in wounds with uncontrolled bleeding due to the risk of exacerbating the condition. |
front 11 What is the primary goal of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in wound care? To stimulate tissue hypoxia which promotes angiogenesis To create a moist wound environment and promote autolytic debridement To increase tissue oxygenation and enhance angiogenesis To reduce venous pressure and decrease tissue oxygen | back 11 To increase tissue oxygenation and enhance angiogenesis HBOT increases tissue oxygenation, promotes angiogenesis, and reduces inflammation. |
front 12 What is a contraindication for pulsed lavage with suction (PLWS)? Pressure ulcers Wounds with uncontrolled bleeding Venous leg ulcers Surgical wounds | back 12 Wounds with uncontrolled bleeding PLWS should not be used in wounds with uncontrolled bleeding due to the risk of exacerbating the condition. |
front 13 What is a common contraindication for autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy? Active infection Superficial wounds Chronic ulcers Diabetic foot ulcers | back 13 Active infection PRP should not be used on wounds with active infections. |
front 14 How does electrical stimulation (ES) reduce wound healing time? By delivering continuous negative pressure By increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation By providing a barrier against infection By increasing tissue oxygenation through pressurized oxygen | back 14 By increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation *ES increases blood flow, reduces inflammation, and stimulates cellular activities. |
