🗑
Each layer is stratified   show
🗑
show is known as the true skin, is well vascularized, and is characterized as elastic, flexible, and tough.  
🗑
show is avascular and consists of the outermost layer of skin.  
🗑
prominences Supine:   show
🗑
show Forehead, anterior portion of acromion process, anterior head of humerus, sternum, anterior superior iliac spine, patella, dorsum of foot  
🗑
show Ears, lateral portion of acromion process, lateral head of humerus, lateral epicondyle of humerus, greater trochanter, head of fibula, lateral malleolus, medial malleolus  
🗑
prominences Sitting (Chair):   show
🗑
show An observable pressure related alteration of intact skin whose indicators as compared to an adjacent or opposite area on the body may include changes in skin color, skin temperature, skin stiffness or sensation.  
🗑
Stage II   show
🗑
Stage III   show
🗑
show A full-thickness skin loss with extensive destruction, tissue necrosis or damage to muscle, bone or supporting structures (e.g., tendon, joint capsule).  
🗑
show secondary to ischemia from inadequate circulation of oxygenated blood often due to complicating factors such as atherosclerosis  
🗑
show secondary to inadequate functioning of the venous system resulting in inadequate circulation and eventual tissue damage and ulceration.  
🗑
Pressure ulcers, often called decubitus ulcers,   show
🗑
show shear, moisture, heat, friction, medication, muscle atrophy, malnutrition, and debilitating medical conditions.  
🗑
show usually associated with a combination of ischemia and neuropathy  
🗑
Most often neuropathic ulcers are associated with   show
🗑
show The wound has good granulation tissue and little or no drainage. Patients rarely report pain with neuropathic ulcers in part due to altered sensation.  
🗑
show Pedal pulses are most often diminished or absent.  
🗑
show The distal limb may appear to be shiny and appear somewhat cool to touch. The periwound skin often appears to be dry or cracked.  
🗑
Factors Influencing Wound Healing   show
🗑
show A decreased metabolism in older adults tends to decrease the overall rate of wound healing.  
🗑
Factors Influencing Wound Healing Illness:   show
🗑
show An infected wound will impact essential activity associated with wound healing including fibroblast activity, collagen synthesis, and phagocytosis.  
🗑
Factors Influencing Wound Healing Lifestyle:   show
🗑
show There are a variety of pharmacological agents that can negatively impact wound healing. Medications falling into this category include steroids, anti-inflammatory drugs, heparin, antineoplastic agents, and oral contraceptives. Undesirable physiologic effe  
🗑
show An abrasion is a wound that occurs from the scraping away of the surface layers of the skin, often as a result of trauma.
