NSG 100 SKIN INTEGRITY EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WITH COMPLETE
SOLUTIONS VERIFIED
factors affecting skin integrity
age
lifestyle variables
changes in health state
illness
diagnostic measures
therapeutic measures
developmental considerations for skin
- if a child is younger than 2, skin is thinner and weaker
- an infant's skin and mucous membranes are easily injured and subject to infection; a child's skin
becomes increasingly resistant to injury and infection.
- the structure of the skin changes as a person ages; the maturation of epidermal cells is prolonged,
leading to thin, easily damaged skin.
- circulation and collagen formation are impaired, leading to decreased elasticity and increased risk for
tissue damage from pressure
wound classification
surgical, traumatic, neuropathic, vascular, pressure

, acute vs chronic
stages of pressure injury
what is a neuropathic wound?
a wound due to nervous tissue/circulation issues so sensation is decreased and a wound can form

pathophysiology of wound healing
hemostasis

proliferation
maturation
what is hemostasis in regards to wound healing
the platelets being send to stop the wound from bleeding
what is inflammation in regards to wound healing?
