Back 20

Anything that disrupts the integrity of the skin such as cuts, bruises or a contusion

Front 21

Thermal

Back 21

Destroyed tissue, leaves body at a susceptibility to dehydration. Depends on the temperature, length of exposure, mode, and site of the injury.

Back 22

Least severe grading of burns, edema, redness, may have single cell necrosis

Front 23

Third degree burn (full thickness)

Back 23

Most severe, removed much of the epidermis and burned into or through the dermis. Massive necrosis of epidermis and sometimes into the dermis and beyond

Front 24

Second degree burn (partial thickness)

Back 24

Blistering, the dermis is spared but significant nerve involvement an edema.

Front 25

Cold

Back 25

Your body reacts by dilating the blood vessels in the dermis and the peripheral cells will dilate trying to bring more temperature to the body

Front 26

Electrical burn

Back 29

X-rays that can cause burns much like sunlight; when repeated exposure it can cause the same aspects of a thermal burn

Front 30

Primary (bacteria)

Back 30

Occur on apparently normal skin. Typically caused by puss forming bacteria called pyodermas

Front 31

Secondary (bacteria)

Back 31

Complicate preexisting skin diseases or wounds and ulcers.

Front 32

Systemic (bacteria)

Back 32

spread to skin through blood or the lymph or by direct extension of the infection from the underlying tissue of the skin.

Impetigo

Back 33

Rash like appearing pustules that will rupture. caused by strep- common in children
