Mod 2 Pediatric History and Exam Flashcards
brachycephaly
coronal sutures fuses, but brain is still developing - widening of the skull/head as head cannot expand front/back
scaphocephaly
sagittal suture closes - head grows front to back
plagiocephaly
unilateral closure of coronal suture (only on one side)
listening area for aortic stenosis or venous hum
URSB
listening area for pulmonary stenosis and pulmonary flow murmurs
ULSB
listening area for atrial septal defect or patent ductus arteriosis
ULSB
listening area for Still’s murmur
LLSB
listening area for ventricular septal defect
LLSB
listening areas for tricuspid valve regurgitation
LLSB
listening area for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
LLSB
listening area for sub-aortic stenosis
LLSB
listening area for mitral valve regurgitation
apex
Two layers of skin
epidermis
dermis
Dermis functions
- contributes to strength, support, elasticity
- mechanical barrier
- regulates heat loss, provides host defenses of the skin, aids in nutrition
3 types of sweat glands / location
Eccrine - distributed over entire body; help maintain fluid and electrolyte balance and temperature
Ceruminous - located in external ear canal and secrete cerumen
Apocrine - located primarily in axillary, genital, and peri umbilical areas; thought to be responsible for body odor
3 cutaneous reactions to trauma/infection/inflammation
Pigment lability (post inflammatory hypo or hyperpigmentation)
Follicular response (results in prominent papule and folic formation)
Mesenchyma response (often follows procedures that may. cause scars - ex: varicella, ear piercing)
pigment lability
cutaneous reaction that occurs post inflammatory as hypopigmentation or hyperpigmentation
examples of disorders that often cause superficial (changes in epidermis only) trauma
diaper rash, seborrhea, tines
usually normal pigmentation occurs in about 6 months
examples of disorders that cause dermal changes (usually more longterm or permanent pigmentation changes)
excoriated acne, impetigo, varicella, contact dermatitis
scars that thicken and extend beyond the margins of the initial injury
keloids
vesicle larger than 1cm
bulla
plugged, dilated pore
open = blackhead
closed = whitehead
comedome
palpable lesion with definite borders filled with liquid or semisolid material
cyst
flat, non palpable, discolored lesion, 1cm or smaller
macule
raised, firm, moveable lesion with indistinct borders and deep palpable portion
2cm or smaller
nodule
solid, raised lesion of varied color with distinct borders
1cm or smaller
papule
macule, larger than 1cm
patch
solid, raised, flat-toped lesion with distinct borders
larger than 1cm
plaque
raised lesion filled with pus, often in hair follicle or sweat pore
pustule
large nodule, may be firm or soft
tumor
blister filled with clear fluid
vesicle
fleeting, irregularly shaped, elevated, itchy lesion of varied size
pale at center
slightly red at borders
wheal
dried exudate or scab of varied color
crusts
abrasion or removal of epidermis; scratch
excoriation
linear, wedge-shaped cracks extending into dermis
fissues
healed lesion of hypertrophied connective tissue
keloid
thin, flaking layers of epidermis
scales
