1. What is the normal water content of the skin? - Correct Answer: 10-15%
2. What is friction skin damage? - Correct Answer: Mechanical disruption
of surface layer of skin
3. Where does friction skin damage occur? - Correct Answer: under
restraints, blisters on heels, surface damage on butt
4. What precedes friction skin loss? - Correct Answer: Erythema,
tenderness
5. Who commonly gets friction skin damage? - Correct Answer:
fragile/macerated skin
,6. What happens with recurrent friction skin damage? - Correct Answer:
superficial skin loss lichenification
7. How can you prevent friction skin damage? - Correct Answer: soft
bathing cloths, gentle skin care, heel elevation (not just quilted boots),
protective dressings, support surface with low friction low shear cover
8. What topical treatments can be used for friction skin damage? - Correct
Answer: extremity - nonadherent gauze or foam dressing + wrap
Silicone-based adhesive foam dressing
Strips of impregnated gauze (viscopaste)
Solid glycerin-based gel (if minimal exudate)
perineum - zinc oxide paste or impregnated gauze strips + optional
nonadherent plastic film for bacterial barrier
9. What are skin tears? - Correct Answer: Superficial skin layers slide
against each other causing disruption between skin layers
10.What are the classifications of skin tears? - Correct Answer: Type 1: no
skin loss - edges reapproximated or flap covers lesion
Type 2: partial skin/flap loss
Type 3: total skin/flap loss
11.How can you avoid skin tears? - Correct Answer: avoid tape
moisturize - supple skin
protect arms with wrap (ensure no compression)
pad bedrails, wheelchairs, etc
Gentle skin care/handling
,12.What is topical treatment for skin tears? - Correct Answer: Type 1:
cleanse, roll viable flap back and secure with steristrips
Type 2 and 3: cleanse with saline, dress with silicone adhesive foam, silicone
contact layer + wrap gauze, solid glycerine gel dressing (low exudate),
nonadherent gauze with wrap gauze, nonadherent polyurethane foam with
wrap gauze
13.What is MARSI? - Correct Answer: Medical adhesive related skin injury
Erythema or other skin damage that persists 30 minutes plus after adhesive
removal
14.How do you prevent MARSI? - Correct Answer: Avoid products that
cause reaction
Consider liquid barrier films
Apply to dry skin without tension
Low and slow horizontal removal - support skin adjacent to peel line
Paper and silicone tapes are better
15.What special considerations exist for paper tape, acrylate adhesive? -
Correct Answer: must be applied with firm pressure and adhesion increases
over time
16.What is IAD? - Correct Answer: Incontinence associated dermatitis
External moisture - begins with inflammation and moves to skin loss
, 17.How do you prevent IAD? - Correct Answer: Toileting programs,
containment devices, absorptive products with polymers to wick away from
skin
18.What types of moisture barrier products exist? - Correct Answer:
Petrolatum products
Dimethicone products
Zinc oxide
Alcohol free liquid barrier films
19.Why/when do you use petrolatum moisture barrier products? - Correct
Answer: easy to apply and remove
thin layer to avoid transfer to brief/pad because it will interfere with
absorption
Not adherent or protective with denudation or liquid stool
20.Why/when do you use dimethicone moisture barrier products? -
Correct Answer: easy to apply/remove
non-occlusive - good for diaphoresis+incontinence
inadequate for denudation/liquid stool
21.Why/when do you use zinc oxide moisture barrier products? - Correct
Answer: difficult to apply/remove
works for denuded skin
