- Nerovus
QUESTION 2. A warning sign of a decubitus ulcer is swelling in a localized area. Which type of tissue has a lot of room between the fibers and can soak up extra fluid that causes swelling?
- Connective
- Epithelial
- Muscle
- Nervous
QUESTION 3. One risk factor for decubitus ulcers includes being in a wheelchair. Patients who use wheelchairs may be paralyzed and unable to use their arms or legs. Someone who can't feel or move their legs may have suffered trauma to which type of tissue that provides communication between cells?
- Connective
- Muscle
- Nervous
- Epithelial
QUESTION 4. For people who use wheelchairs, bedsores often occur on skin over the following sites:
- Tailbone or buttocks
- Shoulder blades and spine
- Backs of arms and legs where they rest against the chair
QUESTION 5. Which of the tissues found covering these areas lack blood vessels?
- Nervous
- Epithelial
- Muscle
- Connective
QUESTION 6. Patients who use wheelchairs often, or are confined to chairs for long periods of the day are encouraged to lift or push themselves up off their pressure points in pressure release exercises every 15 to 30 minutes for a duration of at least 30 to 90 seconds. Which type of tissue would provide the voluntary movement of the contraction or relaxation movements?
- Smooth muscle
- Connective
- Epithelial
- Skeletal muscle
QUESTION 7. Constant pressure on any part of your body can lessen the blood flow to tissues. Blood flow is essential for delivering oxygen and other nutrients to tissues. Without these essential nutrients, skin and nearby tissues are damaged and might eventually die leading to a decubitus ulcer. What type of tissue is blood?
- Connective
- Nervous
- Epithelial
- Muscle
QUESTION 8. An infection from a pressure sore can burrow into joints and bones. Joint infections (septic arthritis) can damage cartilage and spread through synovial fluid which lubricates the joint.

- Epithelial
- Muscle
- Connective
- Nervous

- Connective tissue
- Nervous tissue
- Muscle tissue
- Epithelial tissue
QUESTION 11. Decubitus ulcers are classified or graded, based on the depth of tissues involved. Bleeding is a rare occurrence in decubitus ulcers because the pressure leading to the ulcer usually decreases blood flow. Which of the following tissues is vascular and could bleed in a bleeding ulcer?
