The skin consists of two layers: the epidermis and the dermis. Each layer
consists of many cells. What cells might you find in the dermis? - ANSWER:
Macrophage, Fibroblast, Mast Cells
The dermis is made up of proteins called collagen and elastin. These two
proteins are responsible for: - Giving the skin tensile strength and elastic recoil.
Red blood cells, or erythrocytes, are the most prevalent cells in the blood. They
account for 40-45% of the blood. A lab called ANSWER Hematocrit measures
the percentage of blood made up of red blood cells.
Stem cells produce a protein that provides red blood cells their red color and the
ability to carry oxygen. What's this protein called? - ANSWER: hemoglobin.
WBC generate a protein that turns RBC red and allows them to transport
oxygen. What's this protein called? - Answer: Neutrophil.
A skin lesion's location, feeling, duration, morphology, and configuration
should all be evaluated and documented. What is configuration? - ANSWER
Shape or outline
ANSWER: Zosteriform is the dermatomal type that corresponds to nerve root
distribution.
To assess pain with nonverbal cognitively impaired patients or non-English
speaking individuals, it is recommended to utilize the ANSWER Wong Baker
Faces Pain rating scale.
,Pain quantification would include: - ANSWER intensity, location, quality,
onset, duration, aggravating and relieving factors.
T/F: Staging is only used for pressure ulcers - ANSWER: True
T/F: Wound assessments should be documented at least every four weeks.
ANSWER: False. They should be documented weekly!
T/F- A stage III pressure ulcer is defined as partial thickness skin loss affecting
the epidermis, dermis, or both. - Answer: False
T/F-A painful, blood-filled blister on the heel is regarded unstageable. - False—
suspected deep tissue injury.
T/F- As we age, the basement membrane connecting the dermis and epidermis
flattens. - The answer is true.
Circular, free fluid-filled, larger than 1 cm - ANSWER Bulla
Superficial, solid, less than 1 cm in size, with varying colors. - Answer Papule
ANSWER Vesicle: Circular, free fluid-filled, up to 1 cm
Linear erosion is the mechanical degradation of the skin.
Epidermal loss due by exposure to bodily fluids - ANSWER: Denuded
, Satellite lesions are little red macules that are placed next to the primary lesions.
Change in skin color, circular flat discolouration less than 1 cm - ANSWER
Macule.
ANSWER Wheal: Firm, edematous plaque, dermal infiltration, may persist a
few hours.
Bottom of the foot. - ANSWER Plantar
Inner side of ankle - ANSWER: medial
The outside aspect of the ankle is lateral.
Tunneling and undermining are caused by ANSWER shear.
A____ is a member of the wound team who may diagnose cognitive
deficiencies and try to improve. - ANSWER Speech Therapist.
ANSWER Medical Battery refers to when a patient is treated without his or her
agreement, regardless of whether the therapy is life-saving or not.
A non-adherent patient is one who does not comply with or adapt to the health
care provider's recommended intervention. What should be done if a patient is
persistently non-adherent before stopping treatment? - ANSWER Counseling,
discussing penalties, and documenting every case of non-adherence.
