The question

A nurse is assessing a patient who sustained a full-thickness burn to the right forearm 5 days ago. The wound bed appears pink with new tissue formation, and the edges are beginning to contract. The patient asks why the wound looks different than it did initially. How should the nurse explain what is happening?

  1. "Your body is in the hemostasis phase where blood clotting is occurring to stop bleeding."
  2. "Your wound is in the proliferation phase where new tissue and blood vessels are forming."
  3. "Your wound is in the maturation phase where scar tissue is being remodeled and strengthened."
  4. "Your wound is experiencing the inflammatory phase where white blood cells are removing debris."
