Answer to Question 1

4
The Braden Scale is used to assess a client's risk for developing a pressure ulcer. This scale assesses the areas of sensory perception, moisture, activity, mobility, nutrition, and friction and shear. Home environment, finances, and medications are not assessed with the use of this scale.

Answer to Question 2

2
Primary intention type of healing occurs in wounds that are clean, and have little loss of tissue. Secondary intention occurs when a wound heals by spread of granulation tissue from the base of a wound. Venous leg ulcers heal by secondary intention. In tertiary intention, the wound must be sutured through several layers of granulation tissue in order to bring closure. Quaternary is not a type of wound healing.
