Paget's disease breast eczematous rash nipple or areola. Pallor=decrease circulation face, conjunctiva, gums, nails ASSESS SKIN=color, temperature, moisture, texture, and turgor. increased skin turgor= scleroderma. Bronze skin tones? Addison's disease (adrenal insufficiency What can cause pallor? anemia, vitiligo, and albinism. Lesions: assessed size, shape, configuration, color, and texture. pattern, location, and distribution.

Is believed to be caused by a virus. Herald patch is similar to tinea and typically located on the trunk. Several days later a more diffuse set of smaller pink, salmon, or fawn-colored lesions appear. Maybe a Christmas tree distribution because they follow tension lines. What are some examples of eczematous lesions with excoriations? atopic dermatitis, dyshidrosis, stasis dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis (e.g. cradle cap). and contact dermatitis.

What does an increased AP diameter indicate? COPD (emphysema) and pectus carinatum. What are abnormal findings when performing respiratory expansion/excursion? less than anticipated movement occurs with advanced COPD and interstitial lung disease. Asymmetry occurs with atelectasis, lobar collapse, pneumothorax, and several other conditions.
