Answer to Question 1

B
A unique feature of an electronic health record (EHR) is its ability to integrate all pertinent patient information into one record, regardless of the number of times a patient enters a health care system. Although the electronic medical record (EMR) contains patient data gathered in a health care setting at a specific time and place and is a part of the EHR, the two terms are frequently used interchangeably. There are no such terms as electronic charting record or electronic problem record.

Answer to Question 2

C

Feedback
A Patients with stomatitis should be advised to avoid commercial mouthwash.
B Patients with stomatitis should be advised to avoid alcohol.
C Normal saline rinses (approximately 30 mL) on awaking in the morning, after each meal, and at bedtime can effectively clean the oral cavity. The rinses can be increased to every two hours if necessary.
D Gentle brushing and flossing are important in preventing bleeding of the gums. A soft toothbrush, not a firm toothbrush, should be used.

Answer to Question 3

C
A knife wound is an example of a puncture wound.
A contusion is a closed wound caused by a blow to the body by a blunt object, resulting in a bruise.
A clean wound is a wound that contains no pathogenic organisms, such as a closed surgical wound that does not enter the GI, respiratory, or genitourinary (GU) system.
A primary intention wound is a wound resulting from therapy, such as a surgical incision.
