301 Test 2 part 3 Flashcards
a small red or purple spot caused by bleeding into the skin.
Petechaie
(Melanoma) ___ cell carcinoma-most common doesn’t usually spread (sun)
Basal
___ cell carcinoma- more serious than basal. Travel to lymph odes and thoughout the body(sun)
Squamous
Moisture: diaphoresis occurs w ___ or decrease in __ __
thyrotoxicosis
or
decrease in tissue perfusion
very thin, shiny skin (atrophic) occurs w __ insufficiency
arterial
Edema: most evident in dependent areas, feet, ___, sacral areas
ankles
blotches in the skin that Jen had
vitiligo
circular lesions that begin in the center and spread to the periphery (i.e. ringworm, tinea)
Annular
lesions that run together
Confluent
distinct, individual lesions that remain separate
Discrete
cluster of lesions (i.e. vesicles of contact dermitis)
Grouped
lesions take form of a scratch, streak, line or stripe
Linear
lesions tatke a linerar arrangement along a nerve route (herpes zoster-shingles)
Zosteriform
besides destruction of skin, a defining characteristic of impaired skin integrity is
Invasion of body structures
Pressure compresses underlying tissue, hindering ___ flow and nutrient supply
blood
high risk areas for pressure ulcers (mostly bony prominences)
sacrum, trochanter, ears, heels, knees, iliac crest, shoulder, scapula
a narrow channel of tissue loss that can extend in any direction away from the wound through soft tissue and muscle.
tunnel
may result in dead space which can complicate wound healing.
tunnel
refers to tissue destruction underneath intact skin at the wound edge.
Undermining
Wound edges are not attached to the wound
base. Rather, skin edges overhang the periphery of the wound.
necrotic tissue. Usually yellow or tan and slimy
Slough
DTI (deep tissue injury) is most common on
sacrum, coccyx, and heels
Full thickness tissue loss in which the base of the ulcer is completely covered by slough (yellow, tan, gray, green or brown) and/or eschar (tan, brown or black) in the wound bed.
Unstagable
Intact skin with non-blanchable redness of a localized area usually over a bony prominence. Darkly pigmented skin may not have visible blanching; its color may differ from the surrounding area.
Stage I
Partial thickness loss of dermis presenting as a shallow open ulcer with a red pink wound bed, without slough. Stage II pressure ulcers may also present as an intact or open/ruptured serum-filled or serosangineous-filled blister.
Stage 2
Full thickness tissue loss. Subcutaneous fat may be visible but bone, tendon or muscle are not exposed. Some slough may be present. Stage III pressure ulcers may include undermining and tunneling
Stage 3
Full thickness tissue loss with exposed bone, tendon or muscle. Slough or eschar may be present. These ulcers often include undermining and tunneling
Stage 4
Purple or maroon localized area of discolored intact skin or blood-filled blister due to damage of underlying soft tissue from pressure and/or shear.
Suspected deep tissue injury
oder of Wound healing
Inflammation
Proliferation
Maturation
which phase (inflammation, Proliferation, Maturation), hemostasis is established
inflammation
which phase (inflammation, Proliferation, Maturation), Bacteria, devitalized tissue and other debris are ingested by phagocytes and removed
inflammation
which phase (inflammation, Proliferation, Maturation), new tissue forms (granulation and epithelialization) and the wound contracts
Proliferation
which phase (inflammation, Proliferation, Maturation), scar tissue is remodeled and strengthened
Maturation
Formation of collagen and capillaries in full thickness wounds from surrounding connective tissue. Appears as beefy red tissue in the wound bed
Granulation
Appears clinically as tissue that is thin, pearly or silvery and shiny
Epithelialization
Seen clinically as a reduction in wound depth and size
Wound contraction
in wound healing, The maturation phase may last for one __ or longer.
year
a rash of purple spots on the skin caused by internal bleeding from small blood vessels
purpura
a discoloration of the skin resulting from bleeding underneath, typically caused by bruising.
ecchymosis
Thin, shiny skin, Decreased or absent skin hair, and pain are associated with
arterial ulcer
Associated Wound Characteristics
Minimal exudate
Pale wound bed; necrotic tissue may cover the wound
Well defined wound margins
arterial ulcer
Risk Factors
Older age
Previous history of venous disease or thrombophlebitis
Female
Pregnancy
Obesity
Occupation that involves standing for a long period
Venous ulcers
Venous ulcers location
Between the knee and the ankle
Usually between the lower calf and ankle in the area covered by a sock
Associated Skin Characteristics Hyperpigmentation of lower calf and ankle skin from hemosiderin staining Firm/hardened skin Dry scaly skin; may be itchy Edema
Venous ulcers
Associated Wound Characteristics
Often shallow
Irregular margins
Drainage
Venous ulcers
Treatment
Compression therapy often with multi layer wraps to reduce edema (una boot)
Venous ulcers
Treatment
Dressings such as alginates and foams to absorb drainage and exudates
Avoid moisture
Venous ulcers
Contributing causes:
Sensory, motor, and autonomic neuropathy
Peripheral vascular disease with poor microvascular circulation
Repetitive trauma, unperceived pressure, or friction/shear
Poor control of blood glucose levels
Diabetic ulcers
Wound Location
Usually on metatarsal head, top of toes, and foot
Diabetic ulcers
Associated Skin Characteristics Dry, cracked skin Warm skin Decreased sensation (neuropathy) Charcot's foot
Diabetic ulcers
Associated Wound Characteristics
Regular wound margins
Callus around wound
Diabetic ulcers
Recommended nutritional intake for the prevention of pressure ulcers is a minimum of __ to 35 kcal/kg body weight/day and __ to 1.5g/kg/day protein
30 and 1.25
Pressure ulcer management, transparent dressing (maybe)
