  3. the body loses fluid supply – electrolyte imbalance and ___dehydration______ follow; fluids must be replaced immediately! Homeostatic Problem:

  4. RULE OF NINES 

  5. method used to determine the ___volume_ of fluid lost. • This method divides the body into __11___ areas and each area accounts for___9___ percent of the total body SURFACE AREA. • - BOTH the anterior and posterior head and neck is estimated as ___9___% of body. RULE OF NINES 

  9. Third-degree burn: destroys: ___entire thickness of skin_______ • These burns are referred to as ___FULL thickness burns_____. • * Skin grafts are necessary because ____regeneration_____ is no longer a possibility. CLASSIFICATION OF BURNS:

  10. BENIGN vs. MALIGNANT Cancerous skin tumors that do spread and invade other body areas are ____malignant_______. ** BIGGEST RISK FACTOR FOR SKIN CANCER IS _____overexposure to UV radiation______. SKIN CANCER

  11. 1) ___Basal cell carcinoma____ Least ___malignant_____/ most common type. Cells of the stratum _basale_cannot form __keratin__. No longer is a boundary between _____epidermis_______ and ____dermis______. 3 TYPES OF SKIN CANCER:

  12. 3 TYPES OF SKIN CANCER: 2) ___Squamous cell carcinoma____ Arises from the cells of stratum ____spinosum________. This epidermal cancer is also believed to be _sun_ - induced.

  13. 3 TYPES OF SKIN CANCER: 3) ______malignant melanoma__________ Cancer of PIGMENT PRODUCING CELLS or ***_____melanocytes_________***. About _ 5_­% of skin cancers are this type. Melanoma can begin wherever there is ____pigment______; some cancers develop from pigmented __moles_____. Often deadly; chance for survival is about _50_%. Early detection is key!
