Answer to Question 1

C
Inflammation Phase: The goal of this phase is to establish a clean wound bed and obtain bacterial balance.
Hemostasis Phase: A full-thickness wound healing by primary intention first goes through the hemostasis phase, which controls bleeding.
Proliferative Phase: The key events are production of new tissue, epithelialization, and contraction.
Remodeling Phase: This phase may last up to 1 year, and reorganizes the collagen to produce a more elastic, stronger collagen for the scar tissue.

Answer to Question 2

D
A STAT order means that you give a single dose of a medication immediately and only once. With standing orders 4 you carry out a standing order until the health care provider cancels it by another order or until a prescribed number of days elapses. A PRN order is an order in which the health care provider orders a medication to be given only when a patient requires it. Single (one-time) orders happen when a prescriber orders a medication to be given only once at a specified time.
