what are the extrinsic factors that increase in moisture, friction and shearing
impact pressure ulcers?
how does friction play a role in friction alone causes only superfical abrasion, but
shearing which eventually leads to with gravity it plays a synergistic effect leading to
pressure ulcer? shearing. When gravity pushes down on the body
and resistance (friction) between the patient and
surface is exerted, shearing occurs. because skin
does not freely move, primary effect of shearing
occurs at the deeper fascial level.
what are the intrisinc factors of nutritional debilitation, advanced age, low BP,
pressur ulcers? stress, smoking, elevated body temperature
Aging skin undergoes what elements dermoepidermal junction flattens, less nutrient
affecting risk for pressure ulcer? exchange occurs, less resistance to shearing,
changes in sensory perception, loss of dermal
thickness, increased vascular fragility; ability of soft
tisuse to distribute mechanical load w/out
comprosing blood flow is impaired
What does nonblanching erythema when pressure is applied to the erythematic area
indicate in the skin r/t PU? skin becomes white (blanched), but once relieved,
erythema returns -indicating blood flow; however
in nonblanching erythema, skin does not blanche-
indicating impaired blood flow-suggesting tissue
destructon
why does sitting in a chair pose more deep tissue injury or PU is likely to occur sooner
of a risk in skin break down than sitting down because tissue offloading over boney
lying? prominences is higher

Describe what you will see in deep purple or maroon localized area of discolored
tissue injury? intact skin skinor blood filled blister; may be
preceded by painful, firm, mushy, or boggy; skin
may be warmer to cooler in adjacent tissue. In dark
skin, thin blister or eschar over a dark wound bed
may bee seen
Describe stage I pressure ulcer? Intact skin with nonblanchable redness of localized
area. Will not see blanching in dark skin, but
changes in skin tissue consistency (firm vs boggy
when palpated), sensation (pain), and warmer or
cooler temperature may differ from surrounding
area
Describe stage II pressure ulcer? partial-thickness wound where epidermis and tip of
dermis is lost with red-pink wound bed w/out
slough. may also present as intact or
open/ruptured serum -filled blister
Describe stage III pressure ulcer? full-thickness wound where both epidermis and
dermis is lost and subcutaneous tissue may be
visible, but deeper structures such as muscle, bone,
and tendon are not exposed; slough my be
present but it doesn't obscure depth and tunneling
and undermining may be present
