Wound Management #2

3. quick assessment for classifying burns
4. temp greater than 101
8. selective removal of nonviable tissue using sharp instruments like curettes
9. determined by the depth and extent of a burn
12. selective use of the body's enzymes to break down nonviable tissue
14. applied no longer than 20 minutes
16. packing the wound too tightly adds pressure to the wound bed _____ the healing process
17. damages all layers of the skin, dry surface, little to no pain
18. moistened gauze dressing placed into the wound and allowed to dry
19. nonselective removal of viable and nonviable tissue and debris, should only be used when nonviable necrotic tissue is present
20. only effects the epidermis, small thin-walled blisters, painful & tingling

1. separation of wound layers where visceral organs protrude through the wound opening
2. may be required to remove nonviable, necrotic tissue, necessary to rid the wound of infection
5. gauze is moistened with prescribed solution and meant to stay wet, used for clean open wounds
6. partial or total separation of wound layers due to an incision failing to properly heal
7. damages entire epidermal layer and varying depths of dermis, large thick-walled blisters, wet/shiny, and painful
10. applying ice or ice water may lead to this causing further tissue damage
11. slower method that relies on enzymes applied externally to the wound
13. commonly used to manage delayed closure surgical wounds healing by secondary or tertiary intentions
15. promotes formation of granulation tissue
