Question

Healing by primary intention is expected when the edges of a clean surgical incision are sutured or stapled together, tissue loss is minimal or absent, and the wound is uncontaminated by microorganisms.A. TrueB. False

Answer 1

Answer:

A. true

Explanation:

Steps such as stitching the edges of cuts to make it closed and minimal tissue loss hastens the healing process .

Another important point is the lack of microbes. If there are no microbes then the wound heal faster too because microbes may infect the cuts and start to feed on it thereby delaying the healing process and worsening the situation. Serious infections may lead to death.

Answer 2

Answer:

The statement is TRUE

Explanation:

Healing by primary intention is expected to occur when the corners of the clean wound are brought close and then they are closed with sutures, adhesive glue, tape.

Primary intention can only be done when the wound is precise and there is very less disturbance to local tissues and epithelial basement membrane.

This process is generally quicker and also causes less scarring.  Some examples of primary intention of healing include:

• healing after flap surgery
• bone fractures
