Dermatosis: - ANSWERany disorder of the skin can be called
Dermatitis: - ANSWERany inflammation of the skin
Lesion: - ANSWERany measurable variation from the normal structure of a
tissue
Burns: - ANSWERone of the most serious and frequent problems that affect
the skin
The severity of burns are determined by three major factors: - ANSWERDepth
and number of tissue layers involved, Total body surface area affected Type of
homeostatic mechanisms that are damaged or destroyed, such as respiratory
and blood pressure control or fluid and electrolyte balance.
First-degree Burns - ANSWERA burn (for example a sunburn) causes minor
discomfort and some reddening of the skin. Although the surface layers of
the epidermis may peel in 1 to 3 days, no blistering occurs and actual tissue
destruction is minimal.
, Second-degree Burns - ANSWERA __________ involves the deep epidermal
layers and always causes injury to the upper layers of the dermis. Although
deep this kind of burn burns damage sweat glands, hair follicles, and
sebaceous glands, complete destruction of the dermis does not occur.
Blisters, severe pain generalized swelling and fluid loss characterize this type
of burn. Scarring is common.
Third-degree burns - ANSWERA third-degree burn is characterized by
complete destruction of the epidermis and dermis. In addition, tissue death
extends below the primary skin layer into the subcutaneous tissue. A third-
degree burn is a type of Full-thickness burn. A distinction between second
and third degree burns is that third degree lesions are insensitive to pain
immediately after injury because of the destruction of nerve endings.
Although the pain does kick in soon after. THe fluid loss that results from
third degree burns is a very serious problem. Another serious problem with
third degree burns is the great risk of infection because the protective
functions of the skin are lost.
Rules of nines: - ANSWERdivides the body into areas of 9% each helps in
estimating the amount of skin surface burned in an adult THe back and front
of the head are both4.5%
Rules of nine arms - ANSWERThe arms and the back of the arms are both
4.5%
Rules of nine Chest and back - ANSWERThe Chest and back are both 18%
Rules of nine genitals - ANSWERThe genital region is 1%
