type, duration, last accucheck, last HbA1C, last time checked by family physician
*must have been seen my family doc within the last 6 months
what scale is pulse rated on?
0/4- absent 1/4- weakly palpated 2/4- normal 3/4- bounding 4/4- strongest, usually associated with thrill or bruit
what are bounding pulses associated with?
wide pulse pressure (>60mm Hg)
any delay in capillary fill time can be associated with what?
vasospasm or structural changes
what are some systemic diseases causing pitting edema?
congestive heart failure (protein-rich exudate)
what are some systemic diseases that cause non-pitting edema?
liver and kidney problems (lack of protein in exudate)
what are some important characteristics for determining the nutritional condition of the skin?
- hair growth
- temp
- turgor
what is turgor vs. mobility?
mobility- the ease with which skin is moved when it is liften
turgor- the speed with which the skin returns into place

what are teh 3 classification systems utilized for ulcers:
- Wagner’s- vascular surgery
- International Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (IPUAP)- wound care nursing
- University of Texam San Antonio (UTSA)
Describe the UTSA classification system for ulcers.
#- refers to depth of ulcer letters- refers to ischemia/infection or both
Using the UTSA classification system, grade the depth of ulcers.
0- no break in skin
1- subcutaneous break
2- wound probes to tendon
3- wound probes to bone
