Q

SURGICAL ASEPSIS

A

More stringent way of decreasing pathogens. Wearing scrubs and gloves.

93

95
Q

SWEAT PORE

A

The surface opening of the duct of a sweat gland.

96
Q

A

Fight or flight

97
Q

TERMINAL

A

Coarse, long hair of eyebrows, scalp, axillary, and pubic regions.

98
Q

THIRD DEGREE

A

Severe. area! 20% or more. Depth of tissue damage! All skin layers destroyed, deep tissue destruction, nerve endings destroyed, skin cannot regenerate. Effects! White charred appearance. Loss of body fluids. Scarring. Infection. Smell. Treatment! Scrap away dead tissue for new to grow. Skin graphing.

99
Q

THREATS OF BURN VICTIMS

A

First line of defense gone.

100
Q

THYROID HORMONE

A

Too much causes more heat.

101
Q

TURGOR

A

Skin’s elasticity. Pinch skin and let go, skin should go back immediately. Dehydrated or old dont go back as fast.

102
Q
