  1. On the Braden Scale, what does a lower total score indicate?
    • Lower pressure injury risk
    • Higher pressure injury risk
    • A wound that is healing
    • A patient ready for discharge
  2. Which of these is NOT one of the six Braden subscales?
    • Moisture
    • Nutrition
    • Friction and shear
    • Blood pressure
  3. Why are sub-epidermal moisture scanners especially useful for patients with darker skin?
    • They detect fluid changes under the skin before visible damage, when early redness is harder to see
    • They change skin color to make redness visible
    • They replace the need for repositioning
    • They only work on darker skin tones
  4. What is temporal leakage in a pressure injury prediction model?
    • Losing patient data during a network outage
    • Predicting injuries too far into the future
    • Using features such as a wound care consult that are recorded after the injury began
    • Updating the model too often
  5. What is the purpose of a calibration marker in a wound photo?
    • It identifies the patient by name
    • It provides scale for area measurement and a color reference
    • It disinfects the wound surface
    • It automatically assigns the wound stage
  6. What do wearable sensors like the Leaf system track?
    • Patient position and turning
    • Blood glucose levels
    • Wound tissue types
    • Nutritional intake
  7. What terminology change did the NPUAP (now NPIAP) make in 2016?
    • It replaced the Braden scale with an AI score
    • It renamed Stage 4 as deep tissue injury
    • It stopped recognizing medical device-related injuries
    • It changed pressure ulcer to pressure injury because early stages may involve intact skin
  8. What does the guide say a wound photo app cannot replace?
    • Taking photographs of wounds
    • Measuring wound area
    • Staging, which requires clinical assessment including depth and palpation
    • Storing images in the record
