Pressure ulcers: ANSWER Immobility is frequently the cause, however,
shearing can also be a factor.
Pressure ulcer risk factors include moisture, malnutrition, and altered sensory
perception.
Interventions to Prevent Skin Breakdown - Answer Keep skin dry and clean.
Avoid friction and shear. Positioning the patient every two hours.
Cellulitis - Answer Is a skin condition caused by Staphylococcus bacteria
infecting the dermis and subcutaneous tissue.
Fungal infections - ANSWER Candidiasis affects the mouth, oesophagus, and
vagina, and manifests as yellow or white patches in the mouth. It produces
irritation and white discharge from the vagina.
Squamous cell carcinoma - Answer Is caused by sunlight, affects the epidermis,
and has the potential to become invasive and spread to other parts of the body.
A tumor that starts as a tiny nodule but quickly gets ulcerated.
Sheering - Answer Rubbing and friction cause the skin to move one way while
the bone remains stationary. Do not slip the patient; instead, elevate them
Burn injuries are skin injuries produced by exposure to intense heat, hot liquids,
electrical agents,
powerful chemicals, or radiation.
, Burn Diet - ANSWER High calorie, high protein, and vitamins C and Zinc to
help in recovery.
Acne Types - Answer Acne rosacea develops between the ages of 30 and 50 and
is marked by erythema (redness), papules, pustules, and telangiectasias. Acne
vulgaris begins early puberty; factors contributing to it include familial
tendency, increasing androgen levels, and premenstrual hormonal changes.
Acne Diet - Answer It is critical to consume a healthy, well-balanced diet. Can
be triggered by fatty/greasy foods.
Types of Immunity- ANSWER Immunization is how active artificially acquired
immunity is achieved. Example: Flu vaccines.
Passive natural immunity is transmitted from mother to baby.
For example: mother to baby, uterus, breast milk.
The first line of defense against hazardous environmental chemicals is intact
skin, or ANSWER. Skin acts as a protective barrier for the underlying tissues,
helping to retain their integrity. Sebaceous glands produce perspiration, lactic
acid, and fatty acids to inhibit microbial development.
The second line of defense - ANSWER - includes fever (which limits pathogen
development), leukocytosis, phagocytosis, inflammation, and interferon
activity.
Third line of defense - ANSWER WBCs' immunological reaction to harmful
pathogens. Microorganisms and other things that do not belong in the body,
shearing can also be a factor.

perception.
