Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

Adequate protein is necessary for tissue healing and the production of antibodies and white blood cells (WBCs). Lack of adequate protein increases the risk of infection. Water provides hydration, which is needed by the body but is not the key nutrient for the promotion of healing. Carbohydrates are needed for energy. Fats are a source of warmth, and the excess is stored for later use.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 3, 4

Inflammation is the first phase of the healing process. The second phase, known as reconstruction, may overlap the inflammatory phase. The ideal result of the healing process is resolution, which is the restoration of the original structure and function of the damaged tissue. Deconstruction and dissolution are not phases of the healing process.
