bites treatment - cleanse, apply pressure dressing, close wound, apply ice
Delirium treatment - - identify and address the underlying cause -
optimize brain condition (O2, hydration, pain, etc.
- antipsychotics (haldol)
Deep Tissue Injury (DTI) - An area over a bony prominence that differs from the
surrounding tissue, in either temp, texture, firmness or discomfort level. It may form
blood filled blister or a thin blister that overlies a dark wound bed. The blister may break
and reveal a thin layer of eschar underneath. However, a DTI may not include a blister
at all. The area may simply turn a dark burgundy, purple, or maroon color, like a bruise.
Any of these presentations represent injury to the underlying soft tissue
Diabetic ulcers - Injury and underlying diabetic neuropathy, peripheral arterial disease,
diabetic foot structure
venous ulcer characteristics - Shallow
Irregular borders
Moderate to heavy exudate
Pigmented surrounding skiin
arterial ulcer characteristics - usually in lower extremities (tips of toes, feet, heel), very
painful, Deep, VERY CIRCULAR, PALE TO BLACK ULCER BASE, dry gangrene,
minimal edema
pressure ulcer - any lesion caused by unrelieved pressure that results in damage to
underlying tissue
Pressure Ulcer Stage 3 - - Subcutaneous tissue visible
, Arterial Brachial Index (ABI) -
Basal skin cancer - The most common type of skin malignancy is?
squamous cell carcinoma - Type of skin cancer more serious than basal cell carcinoma;
often characterized by scaly red papules or nodules.
suture care - - Close tissue to reduce scar formation, minimize trauma & tension, &
control bleeding
- Sutures, staples, steri-strips
contact dermatitis - An inflammation of the skin caused by having contact with certain
chemicals or substances; many of these substances are used in cosmetology.
Cat bites - ∙Responsible for 10% of bite wounds.
→30% become infected because feline teeth are sharp and narrow (puncture wounds).
→Wounds caused by cat claws are considered equivalent to bites with regard to
infection because cats are constantly grooming themselves and have saliva on their
claws.
∙Organisms
→*Pasteurella multocida* →Pasteurella infections advance rapidly (within 24 hours).
→This can be an important diagnostic tool because most other pathogens take longer
than 24 hours to manifest.
herpes zoster - shingles, viral infection affecting peripheral nerves
tinea - infection of the skin caused by a fungus
annular lesion - circular, begins in center and spreads to periphery
confluent lesions - lesions that run together ex: hives
Cysts - Fluid, infection, or other matter under the skin
Failure to Thrive (FTT) - a disorder of impaired growth in infancy and early childhood or
elders characterized by failure to gain weight within normal limits
CT scan (computed tomography) - a series of x-ray photographs taken from different
angles and combined by computer into a composite representation of a slice through
the body
