Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A contaminated wound has a high risk of infection as it has been exposed to potentially harmful microorganisms. Contamination can occur during the injury or from contact with an unsterilized object or surface. A chronic wound may be at risk for infection but not necessarily as it may have already been treated or managed. A full-thickness wound implies deep tissue damage but does not necessarily determine the risk of infection. An infected wound is already infected and not at risk, but in need of treatment.
