CHAPTER 13 JARVIS WORKBOOK
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 2022 LATEST
List the 3 layers associated with the skin, and describe the contents of each layer. -
ANS--Epidermis: thin, tough
-horny cell layer: dead keratinized cells
-basal cell layer: forms new cells
-Dermis: middle layer made of connective tissue/collagen
-holds nerves, sensory receptors, blood vessels, lymphatics
-Subcutaneous: adipose
Sebaceous glands - ANS-produce lipid substance secreted through hair follicles that
lubricate the skin
Eccrine glands - ANS-produces sweat
opens to skin
Apocrine glands - ANS-produce thick, milky secretion
opens to hair follicles
secretes during emotional/sexual stimulation
List functions of the skin: - ANS-protection
prevents penetration
perception
temperature regulation
identification
communication
wound repair
absorption and secretion
production of vitamin D
Pallor - ANS-due to non-oxygenated hemoglobin
light skin looks pale, white-pink
dark skin looks ashen, gray
Erythema - ANS-due to excess blood in superficial capillaries (fever, inflammation)
light skin looks red
dark skin not visible - feel for warmth, hardening
Cyanosis - ANS-due to non-oxygenated blood (chronic heart/lung disease, anxiety,
cold)
jaundice - ANS-yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes caused by an
accumulation of bile pigment (bilirubin) in the blood
Causes of Hypothermia - ANS-shock
cardiac arrest
arterial insufficiency
Reynaud disease
Causes of Hyperthermia - ANS-increased metabolic rate
trauma
infection
sunburn
hyperthyroidism
Causes of Diaphoresis - ANS-thyrotoxis, MI, anxiety, pain
Mobility - ANS-the ease of skin to rise
(decreased with edema, Scleroderma)
Turgor - ANS-the skin's ability to return to place promptly when released (decreased
with dehydration, extreme weight loss)
Lunula - ANS-the white linear markings that are normally visible through the nail and
on the pink nail bed
Mongolian spot - ANS-common variation of hyperpigmentation in Black, Asian,
American Indian, and Hispanic newborns
Cafe au lait spot - ANS-large round or oval patch of light brown pigmentation -
usually normal
erythemia toxicum - ANS-rash, small pustules, normal, will go away
Cutis marmorata - ANS-transient mottling in the trunk and extremities in response to
cooler room temperatures - forms reticulated red or blue pattern over skin
Physiologic jaundice - ANS-yellowing of the skin, sclera, and mucous membranes
that develops after the 3rd or 4th day of life
due to increased numbers of RBCs that hemolyze after birth
Milia - ANS-tiny white papules on cheeks and forehead and across the nose and
chin caused by sebum that occludes the opening of the follicles
Lentigines - ANS-common variations of hyperpigmentation; "liver spots"
Seborrheic keratosis - ANS-raised, thickened areas of pigmentation that look
crusted, scaly, warty, dark, greasy, and "stuck on"
Actinic keratosis - ANS-red-tan plaques that increase over the years to become
raised and roughened
Acrochordons (skin tags) - ANS-overgrowths; form stalk; are polyp-like
Sebaceous hyperplasia - ANS-raised yellow papules with a central depression
Petechiae - ANS-a small red or purple spot caused by bleeding into the skin.
hematoma - ANS-a solid swelling of clotted blood within the tissues.
bruise - ANS-an injury appearing as an area of discolored skin on the body from
ruptured blood vessels.
Measles (Rubeola) rash - ANS-red-purple maculopapular blotchy rash
first appears behind ears
looks coppery and does not blanch
Koplik spots in mouth (red-based elevations of 1-3mm)
German Measles (Rubella) rash - ANS-pink, papular rash (similar to Measles, but
paler)
Distinguished from measles by:
neck lymphadenopathy
no Koplik spots
Chickenpox (Varicella) - ANS-shiny vesicles on erythmatous base - become
pustules, then crusts
very pruritic
Stage I Pressure Ulcer - ANS--intact skin, red, does not blanch
Stage II Pressure Ulcer - ANS-partial-thickness skin erosion - loss of epidermis and
possibly dermis
-looks like shallow abrasion or open blister
Stage III Pressure Ulcer - ANS-full-thickness- extends into subcutaneous tissue
-may see subcutaneous fat, but not muscle, bone, or tendon
Stage IV Pressure Ulcer - ANS-full-thickness - involves all skin layers and extends
into supporting tissue
-exposes muscle, tendon, bone, slough (stringy matter attached to wound bed),
eschar (black or brown necrotic tissue)
lesion - ANS-tissue destruction
macule - - ANS-flat skin lesion
papule - ANS-small palpable skin lesion,
plaque - - ANS-collection of papules,
nodule - - ANS-larger elevated skin lesion
tumor - - ANS-abnormal growth of tissue,
wheal - - ANS-raised skin lesion with interstitial fluid,
vesicle - - ANS-elevated cavity containing free fluid,
pustule - ANS-elevated cavity with thick, cloudy fluid.
crust - - ANS-thick, dried-out exudate from burst vesicles or pustules like in
chickenpox
scale - - ANS-shedded dead skin cell
fissure - - ANS-crack in skin going into dermis
erosion - ANS-shallow depression in skin such as stage 2 of pressure ulcers.
ulcer - ANS-sloughing of necrotic, inflamed tissue such as a stage 3 pressure ulcer.
primary skin lesions: - ANS-macule
papule
plaque
nodule
tumor
wheal
vesicle
pustule
secondary skin lesions - ANS-crust
scale
fissure
erosion
ulcer
