D439 EXAM 3 QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS!!
skin
The ___________ serves several functions, including protection, secretion, excretion, body
temperature regulation, and cutaneous sensation
epidermis, the dermis, and the subcutaneous tissue
The layers of the skin include the _______________ (also known as the hypodermis)
Epidermis
___________ is a relatively impermeable layer that prevents entrance of microorganisms.
Although microorganisms reside on skin surface and in hair follicles, relative dryness of the
surface of skin inhibits bacterial growth. Sebum removes bacteria from hair follicles. Acidic pH
of skin further retards bacterial growth.
epidermis
The _____________ (outer layer) shields underlying tissues against water loss and injury,
prevents entry of disease-producing microorganisms, and generates new cells to replace the dead
cells that are continuously shed from the outer surface of the skin.
Bacteria
___________ (normal flora) commonly reside on the outer epidermis. The resident normal flora
do not cause disease but instead inhibit the multiplication of disease-causing microorganisms
dermal
Bundles of collagen and elastic fibers form the thicker dermis that underlies and supports the
epidermis. Nerve fibers, blood vessels, sweat glands, sebaceous glands, and hair follicles run
through the ____________ layers.
Sebaceous glands
,_____________ secrete sebum, an oily, odorous fluid, into the hair follicles. Sebum softens and
lubricates the skin and slows water loss from the skin when the humidity is low. More important,
sebum has bactericidal action.
subcutaneous tissue
The______________ functions as a heat insulator, supports upper skin layers in withstanding
stresses and pressure, and anchors the skin loosely to underlying structures such as muscle. The
____________ layer contains blood vessels, nerves, lymph tissue, and loose connective tissue
filled with fat cells.
color, thickness, texture, turgor, temperature, and hydration
The skin often reflects a change in physical condition by alterations in ______________.
oral cavity
The ______________ consists of the lips surrounding the opening of the mouth, the cheeks
running along the sidewalls of the cavity, the tongue and its muscles, and the hard and soft
palate.
blood vessels
The floor of the mouth and the undersurface of the tongue are richly supplied with
____________. Normal oral mucosa glistens and is pink, soft, moist, smooth, and without
lesions.
Saliva
____________ cleanses the mouth, dissolves food chemicals to promote taste, moistens food to
facilitate bolus formation, and contains enzymes.
xerostomia, or dry mouth
Medications, exposure to radiation, dehydration, and mouth breathing may impair salivary
secretion in the mouth, which increases the patient's risk for _____________.
crown, neck, and root
A normal tooth consists of the ____________.
, overall health
The condition of the oral cavity reflects _____________ and indicates oral hygiene needs
hormonal and nutrient
____________ deficiencies of the hair follicle cause changes in hair color or condition.
Cerumen
Specialized glands in the auditory canal secrete _____________, which traps foreign bodies and
repels insects. _____________ builds up and becomes impacted in some people.
Social practices
______________ influence a person's hygiene preferences and practices, including the type of
hygiene products used and the nature and frequency of personal care practices.
foot hygiene
you may need to teach a patient with diabetes mellitus proper _______________ or a bariatric
patient adaptive bathing methods.
Body image
______________ is a person's subjective concept of their body, including physical appearance,
structure, or function. ____________ affects the way in which individuals maintain personal
hygiene.
economic resources
A person's _____________ influence the type and extent of hygiene practices used.
Motivational interviewing
Motivation also plays a key role in a patient's hygiene practices. ______________ during
assessment can assist you in identifying how a patient perceives benefit in performing hygiene
and the patient's willingness to change behavior.
