Q54
Single choice
A patient presents to the ER from a nursing home after the patient was found to have a foul-smelling, large sacral pressure ulcer during daily nursing rounds. The ER provider swabbed the wound for culture (which
measured at 7 cm in largest diameter); then cleaned the site before painting with povidone around the
entire sacrum to reduce cutaneous bacterial load. The provider made an elliptical excision with 3 mm margins around the outer edge of the ulcer and removed the lesion in its entirety. Further examination revealed deep tissue damage, prompting muscle and segmental bone removal. The wound was then closed using a layered skin flap closure.
