When assessing a surgical wound healing by tertiary intention, the nurse expects granulation tissue to begin to appear during which time period?
A) 1-3 days after surgery
B) 3-5 days after surgery
C) A week after surgery
D) Two weeks after surgery
B) 3-5 days after surgery
Explanation: A) The amount of granulation tissue depends on the extent of injury. In wounds that heal by primary intention, the tissue loss is minimal, so little granulation tissue is produced. On the other hand, in wounds that heal by secondary or tertiary intention, the tissue defect is greater, and the amount of granulation tissue needed is larger. The synthesis of granulation tissue begins approximately 3-5 days after injury and overlaps the inflammatory phase.
