How does cigarette smoke reduce perfusion and oxygenation of tissues? (Choose the two correct statements from the list)

Carbon monoxide causes a reduction in the oxygen carrying pigment in the blood.
Nicotine reduces tissue perfusion by causing vasoconstriction and the tendency of the blood to clot.
Carbon monoxide binds to haemoglobin in red blood cells reducing its capacity to carry oxygen to tissues.
Nicotine compromises pulmonary function and reduces the amount of oxygen being carried to tissues.
Nicotine compromises cardiovascular function and reduces tissue perfusion.

Wound healing can be delayed by systemic factors that bear little or no direct relation to the location of the wound itself. True or false?

True
False

Patients with diabetes can be prone to developing ulcers due to which factor/s?

Neuropathy
Arteriosclerosis
Peripheral arterial disease

Why is it necessary to have adequate dietary intake of protein for adequate wound healing to occur?

Protein is required for collagen synthesis.
Protein is necessary for re epithelisation.
Capillary integrity is dependent on an adequate dietary intake of protein.
An adequate dietary intake of protein is required to form scar tissue with a good tensile strength.

Stress can delay wound healing… (choose the correct statement)

Through the stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system and a decreased level of corticosteroids.
Through raised serum levels of corticosteroids and stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system.
