Tissue Integrity 2 Flashcards
(21 cards)
intentional wounds with minimal tissue loss, such as those made by a surgical incision with sutured approximated edges, usually heal by
primary intention
Have edges that are not well approximated
large open wounds, such as burns or major trauma which require more tissue replacement and are often contaminated, commonly heal by
secondary intention
wounds healed by _________ or delayed primary closure, are those wounds left open for several days to allow edema or infection to resolve or fluid to drain, then are closed
tertiary intention
is defined as a localized area of intact skin
stage 1 pressure injury
injury involves partial thickness loss of dermis and presents as a shallow, open ulcer or a ruptured intact serum filled blister
stage 2 pressure injury partial thickness
subcutaneous fat may be visible and epibole (rolled up wound edges) may occur, but bone, tendon, or muscle is exposed
stage 3 full thickness skin loss
involve full thickness tissue loss with exposed or palpable bone, cartilage, bone, ligament, tendon, fascia or muscle.
stage 4 pressure injury full thickness and tissue loss
full thickness and tissue loss in which the extent of tissue damage within an ulcer cannot be confirmed because it is obscured by slough or eschar
unstageable pressure injury
the ability of body to regenerate and or repair to maintain normal physiological processes
tissue integrity
according to the concept diagram for tissue integrity, which of the following are considered negative outcomes ?
pain
infection
decubiti
altered self image
loss of fluid
loss of electrolytes
according to the concept diagram for tissue integrity, which of the following is considered interrelated concepts ?
immunity
sensory perceptions
mobility
perfusion
elimination
nutrition
thermoregulation
fluid and electrolyte imbalance
according to the concept diagram for tissue integrity, which of the following is considered antecedents
good nutrition
adequate perfusion
lack of external trauma
limited pressure on site
according to the concept diagram for tissue integrity, which of the following is considered attributes
integument structurally intact and functioning
normal healing process
consequences of impaired tissue integrity can lead to
infection
impaired thermoregulation
impaired elimination
fluid and electrolyte imbalance
pain
safety risks
probelms with body image
impaired tissue integrity can potentially occur in all individuals, populations at greatest risk are:
infants
children
older adults
health conditions:
poor peripheral perfusion
malnutrition or obesity
dehydration or edema
impaired mobility
immunosuppression
exposure to irritants:
radiation, temperature extremes, chemical or mechanical trauma, medical treatments
tissue trauma:
friction, shearing moisture, pressure
individual risk factors to tissue integrity
skin hygiene
adequate nutrition
avoidance of excessive sun exposure
burn safety precautions
dermal ulcer prevention
primary prevention tissue integrity
ABCDE screening for malignant melanoma
secondary prevention: screening
tissue integrity
antibiotics
steroids
emollients
chemotherapy agents
collaborative interventions
pharmacotherapy for tissue integrity
phototherapy
surgical interventions
wound care
nutritional support
protien, vitamin A, and vitamin C are critical
collaborative interventions for tissue integrity
SPF 30+, apply 15 minutes before sun, reapply every 2 hours
Sunscreen education
