Dermatology
19 gauge angiocatheter - ANS-attach this to the 35 ml syringe for wound irrigationabra
33 vertebrae - ANS-How many vertebrae are there?
35 ml syringe - ANS-fill this w/ irrigation solution for wound irrigation
5 main functions of the MSK system - ANS-provide support. protect internal organs. provide
leverage and movement. Produce blood cells. Store minerals and lipids
Abduction - ANS-Movement away from the midline of the body
Abrasion - ANS-an excoriation, or circumscribed removal of the superficial layers OR simple
scrapes and scratches in which the outer layer of skin is damaged but not all the layers are
penetrated
Acetabulum - ANS-socket of the hip joint
acne - ANS-a disorder of the skin caused by inflammation of the skin glands found chiefly in
adolescents marked by papules especially on the face
acromion process - ANS-the highest portion of the shoulder
Adduction - ANS-Movement toward the midline of the body
adipose tissue - ANS-highly vascular, loose connective tissue that stores fat, which provides
energy, cushioning, and insulation
agent and source, depth, severity - ANS-3 ways burns can be classified and evaluated
alopecia - ANS-loss of hair
angulated fracture - ANS-fracture in which the broken bone segments are at an angle to each
other
Ankle Landmarks - ANS-Medial and lateral malleolus
ankle sprain (inversion) - ANS-injuries to the lateral ligaments that support the ankle due to
being stretched too much
Ankle Sprain differential diagnosis - ANS-Prehospital- Achilles tendon injury, 5th metatarsal
fracture
in/outpatient- fracture/dislocation of ankle/foot, nerve injury
ankle sprain objective - ANS-prehospital- joint instability, pain on the lateral aspect of the ankle
with palpation, swelling, ecchymosis
In/outpatient- assess joint laxity, difficulty bearing weight, CPS
ankle sprain subjective - ANS-history of: time of injury, MOI, treatments attempted, "pop or
snap", previous trauma, ability to bear weight after injury, pain
ankle sprain treatment - ANS-prehospital
-splint/immobilize ankle
-avoid weight bearing, RICE
in/outpatient
-obtain radiograph
, RICE
Articulation - ANS-where two bones meet (joint)
atrophy - ANS-decrease in size or waste awat of a body part or tissue
avulsion - ANS-A tearing away or forcible separation
ball and socket joint - ANS-An articulation in which the rounded head of one bone fits into a
cuplike cavity of the other and admits movement in any direction; hips and shoulders
body mechanics - ANS-the proper use of the body to facilitate lifting and moving and prevent
injury
bulla - ANS-a large vesicle or blister greater than 1cm
burns - ANS-tissue damage and cell death caused by heat, electricity, UV radiation, or
chemicals. They can cause emotional and psychological problems.
bursa - ANS-small serous sac between a tendon and a bone
Bursitis - ANS-Inflammation of the connective tissue structure surrounding a joint
calcaneus - ANS-heel bone; common site for stress fractures
calcium - ANS-most abundant mineral in the body (99% found in skeleton)
Cancer - ANS-general term frequently used to indicate any of various types of malignant
neoplasms, most of which invade surrounding tissues, may metastasize to several sites, and
are likely to recur after attempted removal and to kill the patient unless adequately treated;
especially, any such carcinoma or sarcoma, but, in ordinary usage, especially the former
carbuncle - ANS-deep-seated pyogenic infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissues, usually
arising in several continuous hair follicles, with formation of connecting sinuses
cardiac - ANS-a specialized form of involuntary muscle that is found only in the heart
(myocardium), responsible for pumping blood throughout the body
Carpals - ANS-wrist bones
Cartilage - ANS-tough tissue that covers the joint ends of bones and helps form certain body
parts; such as the ear.
Cellulitis - ANS-Inflammation of subcutaneous, loose connective tissue; skin infection (cellular
tissue)
Cellulitis Objective - ANS-skin is red, hot, tender, and indurated
borders of redness are not well demarcated
lymphangitis streaks and regional lymphadenopathy may be present
cellulitis subjective - ANS-break in the skin (fissure, cut, laceration, insect bite, or puncture
wound), pain and swelling at sight, fever may be present
Cellulitis treatment - ANS-immobilize and elevate infected limb to reduce swelling
sterile saline dressings/ cool aluminum acetate compresses for pain relief
tetanus immunization (if needed), systemic antibiotics
cervical - ANS-neck, 7 vertebrae
cervical and lumbar vertebrae - ANS-most susceptible to injury because they are not supported
by other bony structure
cervical collar - ANS-device wrapped around the neck and provides a rigid form to immobilize
the neck
cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, coccygeal - ANS-5 sections of the vertebral column
Chemical burns - ANS-various acids, bases, and caustics
