Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, E
Wound assessment (regardless of cause) includes the following parameters: anatomical location, extent of tissue involvement (full or partial thickness loss), size (dimensions and depth of wound), tissue type (viable or nonviable) and percentage of wound tissue (e.g., viable vs. nonviable), volume and color of wound exudate, and condition of surrounding skin.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D, E
The Braden Scale is a highly reliable scale that uses six subscales to identify patients at greatest risk for pressure ulcers: sensory perception, moisture, activity, mobility, nutrition, and friction and shear. Infection is not an area that is assessed on the Braden Scale.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
