What a thorough skin assessment can indicate, What can it tell?
-color
-temperature
-moisture
-texture
-thickness
-edema
-turgor
-lesions
pathophysiology of Vasoconstriction and what it indicates
- fear, anger, cold room, and cigarette smoking can cause vasoconstriction giving
the misleading outcome of false pallor (pale skin)
pathophysiology of vasodilation and what it indicates
- a hot room can lead to vasodilation giving the misleading outcome of false erythema
pathophysiology of pooling and what it indicates
-veins don't allow blood to flow back up to your heart, blood collects in lower
limbs dependent position can lead to venous pooling and giving a misleading
outcome of redness, warmth and distended veins.
pathophysiology of decreased arterial perfusion and what it indicates
prolonged elevation leads to decreased arterial perfusion giving a misleading
outcome of pallor, coolness
, Know what's normal and not normal for moles. What are you looking for?

B - Border irregularity, notching, scalloping, ragged edges, poorly defined margins.

how does jaundice present
A yellowish skin color indicates rising amounts of bilirubin in the blood.
It is first noted in the junction of the hard and soft palate in the mouth and in the sclera.
Light or clay-colored stool and dark golden urine often accompany jaundice.
how does pallor present
When the red-pink tones from the oxygenated hemoglobin in blood are lost, the
skin takes on the color of connective tissue (collagen), which is mostly white.
Pallor is common in acute high stress states because of the powerful peripheral
vasoconstriction from sympathetic nervous system stimulation.
In brown skin tones pallor presents as a yellowish-brown color, in black skin tones
it presents as a gray or ashen color.
how does iron deficiency present
Anemia is due to a lack of oxygen-rich blood. Symptoms include shortness of
breath, headaches, dizziness, fatigue, irregular heartbeat.
