PRN 1032 Final Exam Study Guide 2023 with complete
solution
Pressure ulcers
Often occurs due to immobility and shearing can also play a role
Pressure ulcer risk factors
Moisture, Malnutrition and Alter sensory perception
Interventions to prevent skin breakdown
Skin kept dry and clean, Avoid friction and shear, Positioning of the patient every 2
hours
Cellulitis
Is a skin disorder caused by infection of the dermis and subcutaneous tissue, usually
caused by Staphylococcus.
Fungal infections
Candidiasis is known to affect the mouth, esophagus and vagina, appearance is a
yellow or white patches in the mouth. It causes itching and white discharge from vagina
Squamous cell carcinoma
Is caused by sunlight, affects the epidermis, and can become invasive and metastasize
to other areas of the body. Tumor that begins as a small nodule that rapidly becomes
ulcerated.
Sheering
Rubbing/friction, skin moving one way and the bone staying. Don't slide the patient, lift
them instead
Burn injuries
injuries to the skin caused by exposure to extreme heat, hot liquids, electrical agents,
strong chemicals, or radiation
Burn diet
High calorie, high protein, and vitamins C and Zinc to assist in healing
Acne types
Acne rosacea begins between age 30- 50 years; characterized by erythema(redness),
papules, pustules, and telangiectasias. Acne vulgaris begins early puberty; factors that
contribute to it are hereditary disposition, increased androgen levels, and premenstrual
hormonal fluctuations
Acne diet
Important to eat healthy-well balanced diet. May be caused by fatty/greasy foods
Types of inmmunity
Active artificially acquired immunity occurs via immunization. E.g: Flu vaccinations
Passive natural immunity occurs transmission of mother to baby.
E.g: Mother to baby, Utero, Breast milk
First line of defense
is intact skin against harmful environmental agents. Skin functions as a protective
barrier for the underlying tissues, helping maintain integrity. Sebaceous glands excrete
sweat, lactic acid, and fatty acids to limit microbial growth
Second line of defense
