Choose an answer, then open the working. Each explanation says why the right answer is right and why the others are not.
Which is the correct sequence of the phases of soft-tissue wound healing?
A. Inflammation, proliferation (repair), maturation (remodelling)
Inflammation (with debridement) comes first, then repair with fibroplasia, angiogenesis and epithelialisation, then remodelling of collagen over weeks to years.
The term that means destruction of all microorganisms, including bacterial spores, is:
A. Sterilisation
Only sterilisation kills spores. Disinfection kills most pathogens on objects; antisepsis does the same on living tissue; sanitisation reduces counts to safe levels.
Which instrument has transverse serrations only on the distal half of its jaws?
A. Kelly haemostatic forceps
Kelly forceps have transverse serrations on the distal half; Crile forceps have them along the whole jaw; Rochester-Carmalt have longitudinal serrations with cross-hatching at the tip; Allis forceps have interlocking teeth.
Which suture size is the largest in diameter?
A. 2-0
In the USP scale, sizes below 0 get smaller as the number of zeros rises, so 2-0 is larger than 3-0, 4-0 and 6-0.
A scalpel handle No. 3 accepts which blade?
A. No. 15
Handle No. 3 takes blades 10, 11, 12 and 15; handle No. 4 takes the larger blades 20 to 25.
A persistently rising blood lactate during resuscitation indicates:
A. Ongoing inadequate tissue perfusion and anaerobic metabolism
Lactate accumulates when cells rely on anaerobic metabolism because of poor oxygen delivery. Falling lactate indicates response; rising lactate indicates failure of resuscitation.
Which is the most common skin tumour of horses?
C. Sarcoid
The equine sarcoid, associated with bovine papillomavirus, is the most common skin tumour of horses. Melanoma is common in older grey horses specifically.
Which muscle is commonly transposed to repair a perineal hernia in the dog?
B. Internal obturator
The internal obturator muscle is elevated from the ischium and transposed dorsally to fill the ventral part of the defect.
Subcutaneous fluid therapy in small animals should use:
A. Isotonic crystalloid only
Only isotonic fluids should be given subcutaneously; hypertonic or dextrose solutions can draw fluid into the space or cause sloughing, and absorption is too slow for shock.
