NPTE Practice Questions: Wound care Classification

Are you a PT who could use a higher Integumentary score on the NPTE?
In this video, we will cover a type of question that could help you get 10-15 more points on your exam. Understanding the differences between types of wounds is KEY to success on the NPTE.

NPTE Practice Question:
Kemp is treating a patient with lymphedema who presents to physical therapy with a script for wound care. The patient’s chart describes the wound bed as shallow and irregular on the anteromedial lower leg. In addition, the peri-wound area is described as scaly, weepy, and warm with hemosiderin staining. Which wound type does the patient MOST likely have based on this clinical presentation?
A. Vascular venous
B. Arterial
C. Mixed
D. Inflammatory vasculitis
If you get it wrong, don’t worry. Dr. Kyle Rice, better known as “Coach K” doesn’t just give you the answer -- he breaks down the question so you know how to eliminate answers before getting to the right one.
