fever blister/cold sore mostly spreads by oral contact and causes infections in or around the mouth (oral herpes or cold sores) contact precautions
51
what is herpes simplex 2
normally effects in the genital area contact precaution - spread via contact
52
what precaution do we use for dermitisis
contact precautions
53
what is Maceration 2/2
If a wound is too moist, the edges and periwound will become macerated Inappropriate wound care, uncontrolled wound drainage, perspiration, or incontinence
54
what is Maceration
A condition that occurs when skin softens and breaks down due to prolonged exposure to moisture. too long in the bath
55
what is pustules
mall, inflamed, pus-filled blisters that can appear on the skin. there is pus inside the acne, small pox
56
what is vesicles on skin
small, fluid-filled blisters that can appear on the skin. chicken pox < .5
57
what are wheals
raised, red, itchy bumps that are a common symptom of hives, or urticaria splotchy
58
what does Maceration look like
It is identified as white, friable, overhydrated, and sometimes wrinkled skin
59
what is the size of a blister
<.5 cm
60
what is a blister called if it is greater then .5 cm
bullae found on the skin or to air-filled cavities in the lungs
61
what is Desiccation
the state of extreme dryness, or the process of extreme drying.
62
what cause Desiccation
If a wound lacks moisture, the wound and periwound will become dessicated Inappropriate wound care, inadequate moisture, infection, dehydration.
63
what does wound Desiccation look like
It is identified as cracked, with dry or flaky edges, and the tissue within the wound bed may be hard or crusty.
64
Debridement - selective what is being removed
Removal of only nonviable tissues from a wound

67
what is used for Sharp debridement:
Use of scalpel, scissors, forceps
68
what is used for Enzymatic debridement:
Use of a topical application of enzymes
69
what are used for Autolytic debridement:
Use of the body’s own mechanism to remove nonviable tissue a natural process that breaks down dead tissue at a wound site using the body's own enzymes and cell

stage 3 pressure wound strtucture
fat
86
stage 4 pressure wound structure
bone, muscle tendons
87
Heavy exudate: examples
Calcium alginates, Hydrofiber (max capacity)
88
what stage of pressure ulcer do we see underminding and tunneling
stage 4
89
what do we use on infected wounds
Hydrofiber, Hydrogels, Calcium alginates, and Gauze
90
what do we do with red wounds
cover the wound keep it dry and clean use a transparent dressing over gauze moistened with saline or use hydrogel, hydrocolloid, or foam or protect the wounds
91
what do we do with yellow wounds
clean the wound and remove the yellow layer cover the wounds with hydrogel, foam, or moist gauze with or without debribing enzyme also consider hydrotherapy with whirl pool or pulselavage
92
can pressure ulcer be backstages
No, a pressure ulcer cannot be back-staged or reverse staged once it has been staged it is like a name is cannot be changed
93
what is the braden scale

94
what is the norton scale
a tool used to assess a patient's risk of developing pressure ulcers
95
what is the gosnell scale
a tool used to assess the risk of developing pressure ulcers in people over 65, especially those living in extended care
96
what do we do with black wounds
debribe the wound - conservative sharp debridement, or hydrotherapy, enzyme product for wound with inadqueate blood supply and non-infected do not debribe - keep nice and dry
97
what is the wagner classification
grading system for diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) that assesses the depth of the ulcer and the presence of gangrene or osteomyelitis 0-5
98

for treating burns
101
how do we decide between selective and non-selective wound care
sometimes 50%
102
what is Hypertrophic scar:
Hypertrophic scarring would describe a healed wound with thick fibrous tissue that remains within the original wound border
103
what is a Normal scar look like
Flat and similar to skin color
104
105
What is keloid scar
raised scar after an injury has healed. A keloid is caused by an excess protein (collagen) in the skin during healing. Lumpy or ridged grows beyond the boundaries of the initial wound
106
What are hypertrophic scares
hypertrophic scar is a raised scar that remains confined to the area of the original injury
