Integumentary Diseases Review of anatomy & physiology
![Page 11: Selected Integumentary System Diseases & Conditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816772550346895ddc6110/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Integumentary diseases Skin Function:
Skin, hair, and nails are external structures Serve a variety of specialized functions Sebaceous and sweat glands cool and
lubricate the body and get rid of wastes The skin, hair, and nails have many vital
functions, but the most important is protection.
Once the skin has been pierced or damaged the body is much more susceptible to infection, even from organisms which would not normally be pathogenic, e.g., staphylococci.
![Page 12: Selected Integumentary System Diseases & Conditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816772550346895ddc6110/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Integumentary diseases Wound Infections & Risks Risks for infection include any
pathophysiological states which cause diminished circulation, poor immune response, or delayed repair of tissues These include:
Radiation or trauma Poor circulation Immunosuppression, drug induced or disease
induced Impaired oxygenation Nutritional deficiencies Coagulation disorders Immobility Diabetes, lupus, and other immunodeficiencies
![Page 14: Selected Integumentary System Diseases & Conditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816772550346895ddc6110/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Integumentary diseases Etiology: THINK – WHAT IS CAUSING
THIS? And you might learn how to prevent it
For example – If the patient is immobile and starting to break down because they cannot move, how do we prevent the skin from breaking down?
If the patient has an immunodeficiency,
how do we prevent skin breakdown?
If the patient has a nutritional deficiency, how do we promote wound healing?
![Page 15: Selected Integumentary System Diseases & Conditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816772550346895ddc6110/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Diagnostic Procedures and Nursing Interventions Wound Culture and Sensitivity (swab cultures
and/or wound biopsies): Definitively identify and quantify wound
bacteria. Complete Blood Count (CBC) with Differential:
Assess immune response. Blood Cultures: Rule out sepsis. Serum Albumin (normal > 3.5 g/dL) and
Prealbumin (normal 17 to 40 mg/dL): Assess nutritional status (low levels indicate
malnutrition).

Therapeutic Procedures and Nursing Interventions Vacuum-assisted Wound Closure (Wound-
Vac) – continuous low-level negative pressure is applied to a sponge-covered suction tube for several hours.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBO / HBOT)– administration of high-pressurized 100% oxygen directly over the wound for 60 to 90 min.
Surgical Debridement and / or Wound Grafting – surgical excision of nonviable tissue to promote wound healing and/or grafting of skin from donor sites to clean granulating or freshly excised wound bed.

Integumentary diseases
Stage I ulcer Defined as non-blanching erythema of intact skin,
discoloration of skins with warmth or hardness
![Page 62: Selected Integumentary System Diseases & Conditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816772550346895ddc6110/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Integumentary diseases
Stage II Ulcer Defined – partial thickness skin loss involving epidermis
and/or dermis layer; the ulcer is superficial and presents clinically as an abrasion, blister or shallow crater.
Coccyx
![Page 63: Selected Integumentary System Diseases & Conditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816772550346895ddc6110/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Integumentary diseases
Stage III Defined as a full thickness skin loss involving damage
or necrosis of subcutaneous tissue which may extend down to , but not through underlying fascia; the ulcer presents clinically as a deep crater with or without undermining or adjacent tissue.
![Page 64: Selected Integumentary System Diseases & Conditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816772550346895ddc6110/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Integumentary diseases
Stage IV Defined as full-thickness skin loss with extensive
destruction, tissue necrosis, or damage to muscle, bone, or supporting structures
Bone visible under damage

Integumentary diseases Venous Stasis Ulcers – no stages Caused by poor circulation and poor
venous return (PVD) Peripheral vascular disease
![Page 66: Selected Integumentary System Diseases & Conditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816772550346895ddc6110/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Integumentary diseases Venous Stasis Ulcers – no stages Caused by poor circulation and poor venous
return (PVD) Peripheral vascular diseaseHarder to heal,May need a bypassto restore circulation, in addition to dressings.etc.
Edema and discoloration are primary symptoms priorto skin breakdown.

Integumentary diseases Documentation of ulcers It is necessary to identify any
skin damage or breakdown on admission, as if these are missed, the hospital or facility can be liable
If it was not documented, it was not done
![Page 70: Selected Integumentary System Diseases & Conditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816772550346895ddc6110/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Integumentary diseases Documentation of ulcers Documentation should include a
photograph, measuring the ulcer or wound with a sterile paper tape or circle; the depth, the width, the breadth and the total area involved, and any breaking of the skin, any color and any drainage (including color and odor). Then “stage” it.

Pressure ulcer …an area of skin that breaks down
when you stay in one position for too long without shifting your weight.
Pressure ulcers are categorized by severity, from Stage I (earliest signs) to Stage IV (worst):
Stage I: A reddened area on the
skin that, when pressed, is "nonblanchable" (does not turn white). This indicates that a pressure ulcer is starting to develop.
Stage II: The skin blisters or forms an open sore. The area around the sore may be red and irritated.
Stage III: The skin breakdown now looks like a crater where there is damage to the tissue below the skin.
Stage IV: The pressure ulcer has become so deep that there is damage to the muscle and bone, and sometimes tendons and joints.

pruritis
Pruritus is an itch or a sensation that makes a person want to scratch. Pruritus can cause discomfort and be frustrating. If it is severe, it can lead to sleeplessness, anxiety, and depression.
The exact cause of an itch is unknown.
It is a complex process involving nerves that respond to certain chemicals like histamine that are released in the skin, and the processing of nerve signals in the brain.
Pruritus can be a part of skin diseases, internal disorders, or due to faulty processing of the itch sensation within the nervous system.

Vacuum assisted closure (Wound VAC)
Under negative pressure, V.A.C. Therapy with proprietary V.A.C. GranuFoam Dressings applies mechanical forces to the wound to create an environment that promotes wound healing. These forces are known as macrostrain and microstrain.
Macrostrain: Draws wound edges together Provides direct and complete wound bed contact Evenly distributes negative pressure Removes exudate and infectious materials Microstrain Reduces edema Promotes perfusion Promotes granulation tissue formation by
facilitating cell migration and proliferation

turgor Skin turgor test a fold of skin is picked up and
then quickly let go. The amount that it will stretch is an indication of its extensibility.
The speed with which it returns to a normal position is determined by the degree of hydration of the skin and subcutaneous tissue and the amount of fat in the subcutaneous tissue, e.g. in an animal that is 10 to 12% dehydrated the skin fold will not disappear until 20 to 45 seconds have elapsed.
The best place to assess skin turgor on a patient who has been laying in the bed for prolonged amounts of time is: forehead or sternum.
