4. Below are true regarding type of needle and its indication, except:
a. Conventional cutting needle – skin
b. Reverse cutting needle – skin, mucosa, ophthalmic surgery, fascia, tendon/ligament
repair, prin, cartilage
c. Spatula needle – skin, cornea, microsurgery
d. Taper point needle – abdominal organ, myocardium, peritoneum, dura, facia,
subcutaneous tissue, gynecology
e. Blunt tip needle – abdominal organ, myocardium, peritoneum, dura, facia,
subcutaneous tissue, gynecology
Pembahasan: jawaban e
A cutting needle has at least two opposing cutting edges (the point is usually triangular).
This type is designed to penetrate dense, irregular, and relatively thick tissues. The point
cuts a pathway through tissue and is ideal for skin sutures. Sharpness is due to the cutting
edges. In reverse-cutting needles, the third cutting edge is on the outer convex curvature
of the needle (depth-seeking). These needles are stronger than conventional cutting
needles and have a reduced risk of cutting out tissue. They are designed for tissue that is
tough to penetrate (eg, skin, tendon sheaths, or oral mucosa). Reverse-cutting needles are
also beneficial in cosmetic and ophthalmic surgery, causing minimal trauma. Side-cutting
(spatula) needles are flat on the top and bottom surfaces to reduce tissue injury. These
needles allow maximum ease of penetration and control as they pass between and through
tissue layers. Side-cutting needles were designed initially for ophthalmic procedures.
Blunt point needles dissect friable tissue rather than cut it. The points are rounded and
blunt, ideal for suturing the liver and kidneys. Additionally, blunt needles are being
developed for more conventional uses in an effort to reduce needlestick injuries (Mackay-
Wiggan et al. 2018).
5. The primary source of blood to the lower half of the central abdominal skin is the:
a. Superficial inferior epigastric artery
b. Deep inferior epigastric artery
c. Superior epigastric artery
d. Superficial circumflex iliac artery
e. Intercostal and segmental arteries
Pembahasan: jawaban b
The deep inferior epigastric artery provides the main blood supply to the lower abdominal
wall. Microdissection of the artery, its main branches, and the perforator vessels was
undertaken in 20 cadavers. The artery was found to be associated with two veins in most
of the cases (90 percent). The lateral division of the deep inferior epigastric artery and the
perforator vessels it gives are more dominant (80 percent of cases) than the medial
perforators (20 percent of cases). The lateral perforators were greater in number (80) and
more consistent than those that arose from the medial division (28). The
musculocutaneous perforators are the most important perforators supplying the anterior
abdominal wall. An average of 5.4 large perforators (>0.5 mm in diameter) were
dissected in each case. These perforators are mostly contained in the area lying laterally
and below the umbilicus, with an average distance of 4 cm from the umbilicus. The
musculocutaneous perforators may have a direct or indirect course. Larger perforators
(>0.5 mm in diameter) were found to have a direct course through the subcutaneous fat to
the skin. Smaller perforators do not reach the skin but terminate at the level of the deep
fat layer by branching after piercing the rectus sheath. The direct perforator vessels with
their associated veins (microdissection) keep a consistent diameter before dividing at the
subdermal level and end by contributing to the subdermal plexus (El-Mrakby and Milner,
2002).
6. Occlusion is
a. Relationship between mesiobuccal cusp of maxillary 1st molar and the buccal
groove of mandibular 1st molar
b. Relationship between mesiolingual groove of maxillary 1st molar and the buccal cusp
of mandibular 1st molar
c. Relationship between mesiobuccal groove of maxillary 1st molar and the buccal cusp
of mandibular 1st molar
d. Relationship between mesiobuccal groove of maxillary 2nd molar and the buccal cusp
of mandibular 1st molar
e. Relationship between mesiobuccal cusp of maxillary 2nd molar and the buccal groove
of mandibular 2nd molar
Pembahasan: jawaban a
Angle (1899) had provided the first clear definition of normal occlusion. The normal
occlusion was when the upper and lower molars were in a relationship whereby the
mesiobuccal cusp of the upper molar occluded in the buccal grove of the lower molar and
the teeth were arranged in a smoothly curving line of occlusion (Hassan and Rahimah,
2007).
7. Component of wound defect are, except:
a. Location
b. Size
c. Extend of defect
d. Condition of surrounding tissue
e. Wound history
Pembahasan: jawaban e
Cutaneous wounds close by epithelial resurfacing and wound contraction. Dependent on
the species, one or the other process dominates the progress of wound repair. For
example, rodents heal mainly by contraction, whereas in humans, reepithelialization
accounts for up to 80% of wound closure. Skin wound epithelialization is reliant on the
wound specifics such as the location, the depth, the size, microbial contamination as well
as patient-related health conditions, genetics and epigenetics (Sorg et al, 2017).
8. The following is the appropriate treatment post operatively for patients with split skin
grafts to the lower limb:
a. 2 weeks of full immobilization
b. Discharged 1-day post operatively
c. Antibiotics
d. Opioid analgesics
e. None of the above
Pembahasan: jawaban c
The second most common cause of graft failure is infection. It has been suggested that
graft failure secondary to infection is caused by dissolution of fibrin by plasmin and
proteolytic enzymes, which are abundant in bacteria-infected wounds. Fibrin is central to
graft survival via an adherent action at the interface between the graft and the bed. One
can avoid infection by ensuring the wound bed is clean and well prepared, by using
quiltling sutures, permitting egress of wound fluids by meshing or pie-crusting the graft
surface, and by applying and frequently changing saline-soaked dressings. Other
proposed methods include administering low-dose erythromycin for 5 days post-graft,
administering vitamin C and zinc for up to 10 days, and avoidance of alcohol (Adigbli et
al, 2016b).

kristaloid, given antibiotic and tetanus injection. How much fluid need to be administered
into this patient in your hospital? (BW: 60 kg)
a. Administered 5480 ml kristaloid for 18 hours
b. Administered 6480 ml kristaloid in 18 hours
c. Administered 2240 ml kristaloid in first 2 hours, and the rest later
d. Administered 3740 ml kristaloid in first 2 hours, and the rest later
e. Administered 3240 ml kristaloid in first 2 hours, and the rest later
Pembahasan: jawaban c
Patients with burns of more than 20% - 25% of their body surface should be managed
with aggressive IV fluid resuscitation to prevent “burn shock." A variety of formulas
exist, like Brooke, Galveston, Rule of Ten, etc.4, but the most common formula is the
Parkland Formula. This formula estimates the amount of fluid given in the first 24 hours,
starting from the time of the burn. The Formula. Four mL lactated ringers solution ×
percentage total body surface area (%TBSA) burned × patient's weight in kilograms =
total amount of fluid given in the first 24 hours. One-half of this fluid should be given in
the first eight hours. TBSA: face, neck and left forearm and left leg (7% + 2% + 3% +
20% = 32%). 4 mL x 60 kg x 32% TBSA = 7680 mL, 3840 in the first eight hours
(Schaefer and Lopez, 2019).
21. Clefts:
a. Are more common in black races than Asians
b. Are more common in white races than Asians
c. Are more common in white races than black races
d. Are less common in younger siblings of those with cleft lip and palate
e. None of the above
Pembahasan: jawaban c
(Canfield et al, 2017).
23. The superficial penile arteries that supply the skin and prepuce of the penis come directly
from which artery?
a. Superficial circumflex iliac artery
b. Dorsal artery of the penis
c. Internal pudendal artery
d. External pudendal artery
e.
Pembahasan: jawaban c
Blood supply to the skin of the penis is from the left and right superficial external
pudendal arteries, which arise from the femoral artery (see the image below). The
superficial external pudendal arteries branch into dorsolateral and ventrolateral branches,
which collateralize across the midline. In addition, branches in the skin form an extensive
subdermal vascular plexus. The blood supply to the ventral penile skin is based on the
posterior scrotal artery, a superficial branch of the deep internal pudendal artery
(Ellsworth and Gest, 2017).
28. In the finger, what is the usual relationship of the digital nerve to the digital artery?
a. Dorsal
b. Volar
c. Proximal
d. Distal
e. Lateral
Pembahasan: jawaban a
The proper palmar digital arteries travel along the sides of the phalanges (along the
contiguous sides of the index, middle, ring, and little fingers), each artery lying just
below (dorsal to) its corresponding digital nerve.
29. This statement is true regarding the difference between FTSG and STSG
a. Scar from FTSG had better aesthetic outcome than STSG
b. Scar from STSG had better aesthetic outcome than FTSG
c. Donor from FTSG could be harvested from every area of the body
d. Wide burn wound should be covered by meshed FTSG
e. Donor of FTSG usually resulted in keloid
Pembahasan: jawaban
Full-thickness skin grafts are the most commonly used graft in dermatology. FTSGs can
provide an excellent tissue match for the host site and heal with minimal scarring and
contracture. Composite grafts also have a high metabolic demand and typically are only
used in the nose and ear in situations where cartilage also needs to be replaced Split-
thickness grafts are typically less cosmetically appealing due to a lack of adnexal
structures and color mismatch. There is also a significant risk of contracture with STSG.
Split-thickness graft donor sites also tend to be more painful for the patient compared to
FTSG. (Prohaska and Cook, 2019).
34. Which is the following cell predominantly peak at the hemostasis phase of wound
healing:
a. Neutrophil
b. Monosit
c. Eritrocyte
d. Lymphosit
e. Platelet
Pembahasan: jawaban a
In a vascular inflammatory response, the lesioned blood vessels contract and the leaked
blood coagulates, contributing to the maintenance of its integrity. The coagulation
consists of an aggregation of thrombocytes and platelets in a fibrin network, relying on
the action of specific factors through the activation and aggregation of these cells. The
fibrin network, in addition to reestablishing homeostasis and forming a barrier against the
invasion of microorganisms, organizes the necessary temporary matrix for cell migration,
which in turn restores the skin’s function as a protective barrier, maintaining the skin’s
integrity. This also makes it possible for cell migration to the lesion’s microenvironment
and the stimulation of fibroblast proliferation. Cell response in the inflammatory stage is
characterized by the influx of leukocytes in the wound area. Such a response is very quick
and coincides with the key signs of inflammation, which are revealed by the edema and
the erythema at the location of the lesion. Normally, cell response is established within
the first 24 hours and can extend for up to two days. A quick activation of the immune
cells in the tissue may also occur, as happens with mastocytes, gamma-delta cells, and
Langerhans cells, which secrete chemokines and cytokines. Inflammation is a localized
and protective tissue response that is unleashed by the lesion, causing tissue destruction.
Inflammatory cells play an important role in wound healing and contribute to the release
of lysosomal enzymes and reactive oxygen species, as well as facilitate the clean-up of
various cell debris. Buckley argues that the interaction of leukocytes and stromal cells
during an acute inflammatory response resolves around the inflammatory focus.
Neutrophils are known for expressing many pro-inflammatory cytokines and a large
quantity of highly active antimicrobial substances, such as reactive oxygen species
(ROS), cationic peptides, and proteases at the location of the lesion. The inflammatory
response continues with the active recruitment of the neutrophils in response to the
activation of the complement system, platelet degranulation, and bacterial degradation
products. These are attracted by many inflammatory cytokines produced by activated
platelets, endothelial cells, and degradation products of pathogenic agents. In this manner,
the neutrophils are the primary activated and recruited cells that play a role in the clean-
up of the tissue, as well as contribute to the death of invading agents (Gonzalez et al,
2016).
For number 37-41, chose (A) if right option is 1,2,3 (B) for 1,3 (C) for 2,3 (D) for 4 and (E) for
all the options are corrects:
37. Collagen:
1. Type I : most abundant, dominant in skin, tendon and bone
2. Type II: cornea and hyaline cartilage
3. Type III: vessel and bowel walls, uterus and skin
4. Type IV: basement membrane only
Pembahasan: jawaban a
Type I collagen is the most abundant collagen found in connective tissues including skin,
tendon, and bone tissue. It is the major component and the primary determinant of tensile
strength of the ECM (Bonnomet et al, 2012). Type III collagen is a homotrimer encoded
by a gene on chromosome 2q31. The α1(III) chains have the Gly-X-Y repeats typical of
fibrillar collagen. Type III collagen is located in skin, blood vessel walls, and
pleuroperitoneal lining; bone has a minimal amount of type III collagen (Marini, 2015).
Type IV collagen is the main collagen component of the basement membrane. It is a
network-forming collagen that underlies epithelial and endothelial cells and functions as a
barrier between tissue compartments. Type IV collagen has many binding partners and
forms the backbone of the basement membrane (Sand et al, 2016).
39. Below are the problem that was found in subacute phase of burn injury:
1. Infection
2. Nutrition
3. Wound coverage
4. Early mobilization
Pembahasan: jawaban a
To date, not a single therapeutic modality has been successful in completely reversing the
complex reactions induced by a burn injury; nevertheless, several non-pharmacological
and pharmacological strategies have been found to effectively modulate burn-associated
metabolism. So far, early excision and closure of the burn wound have been described as
the greatest advancement in the management of patients with severe thermal injuries.
Since sepsis plays a major role in boosting burn-associated mortality and morbidity
related to hypermetabolic response, every effort should be made to control the rate of
sepsis by taking the appropriate measurements to prevent infection in burn patients.
Adequate nutrition and proper feeding are of utmost importance in the recovery process
of burn patients. Unlike oral nutrition alone, continuous enteral usually succeeds in
preserving total body weight and decreases hypermetabolic response in burn patients
(Kaddoura et al, 2017).
42. This statement are true for open wound with necrotic tissue, except:
1. Surgical debridement is the best methods for this type of wound
2. Hydrogel usually preferred by medical wound therapist as autological debridement
3. Hydrogel usually combine with foam in wound care therapy
4. All true
Pembahasan: jawaban b
The wound bed may be covered with necrotic tissue (non-viable tissue due to reduced
blood supply), slough (dead tissue, usually cream or yellow in colour), or eschar (dry,
black, hard necrotic tissue). Such tissue impedes healing. Necrotic tissue and slough may
be quantified as excessive (+++), moderate (++), minimal (+), or absent (−). Since
necrotic tissue can also harbour pathogenic organisms, removal of such tissue helps to
prevent wound infection. Necrotic tissue and slough should be debrided with a scalpel so
that the wound bed can be accurately assessed and facilitate healing. Eschar may be
adherent to the wound bed, making debridement with a scalpel difficult. Further
debridement, as part of wound management, may be required using other techniques
(Grey et al, 2006). Hydrogel dressings consist of a hydrophilic polymer, usually a starch
polymer such as polyethylene oxide, and up to 80% water. They are available as gels,
sheets, or impregnated gauze, which are absorbent, non-adherent, semitransparent, and
semipermeable to water vapor and gases. Their high water content gives them the ability
to rehydrate dry wounds, giving them a soothing and cooling effect. Hydrogels also act
on necrotic tissue by autolytic debridement, thereby facilitating granulation tissue
formation (Oh and Philips, 2012).
