| avulsion | the tearing away of a structure or part |
| bruise | superficial discoloration due to hemorrhage into the tissues from the ruptured blood vessels beneath the skin surface, without the skin itself being broken; also called contusion |
| contusion | a bruise; injury to tissues without breaking of skin; blood from broken blood vessels accumulates, producing pain, swelling tenderness |
| cut | incision |
| ecchymosis | a hemorrhagic spot or blotch, larger than petechial, in the skin or mucous membrane, forming a non-elevated, rounded or regular, blue or purplish patch |

| laceration | the act of tearing or splitting; a wound produced by the tearing and or splitting of body tissue usually from blunt impact over a bony surface |
| lesion | a broad term referring to any pathologic or traumatic discontinuity of tissue or loss of function of a part |
| Nociceptors | designed to detect painful sensations from the periphery and transmit them to the CNS |
| Nociceptors are located within the: | skin, connective tissue, muscle, and the thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic viscera |
| Nociceptors carry the pain signal to the CNS by 2 afferent fibers | A& and C |
| A& fibers | are myelinated an larger in diameter so they transmit the pain signal rapidly to the CNS |
| C fibers | are unmyelinated and smaller and they transmit the signal more slowly. These are diffuse and aching and last longer after the injury. |
| transduction | occurs when a noxious stimulus in the form of traumatic or chemical injury, burn, incision, or tumor takes place in the periphery. |
| transmission (second phase) | the pain impulse moves from the level of the spinal cord to the brain. |
| perception (third phase) | indicates the conscious awareness of a painful sensation. |
| modulation (fourth phase) | the pain message is inhibited through this phase or else we would continue to experience pain. |
| Examples of nociceptive pain | skinned knee, kidney stones, menstrual cramps, muscle strain, venipuncture, or arthritic joint pain. |
| Neuropathic pain implies: | an abnormal processing of the pain message from an injury to the nerve fibers. |
| Deep somatic pain comes from | sources such as the blood vessels, joints, tendons, muscles, and bone. |
| Cutaneous pain comes from | skin surface and subcutaneous tissues |
| Rating scales can be introduced at what age | 4 to 5 years of age |
| PAIN AID scale | Pain assessment in advanced dementia scale- score of 4 or more indicates need for pain management. |
| Reflexive sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) or complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) | chronic progressive nerve condition, characterized by burning pain, swelling, stiffness, and discoloration of the affected extremity. |
| Mini Nutritional assessment (MNA) score of 8-11 | at risk for malnutrition |
| MNA tool score 0-7 | needs a more comprehensive assessment |
| Bleeding gums | Vitamin C deficiency |
| Glossitis (beefy red tongue) | Vitamin B deficiency |
| Waist circumference at risk for men | >40 in. |

| Mid arm circumference norm for 20 y.o. man | 27.2-37.2cm |
| Arm span is nearly equivalent to height | measure from sternal notch to the longest finger on the dominant hand, then multiply by 2 |
| Elbow breadth, a measure of skeletal breadth | is the most accurate method to determine frame size. |
