A nurse assessing the skin of clients knows that the following are health states that may predispose clients to skin alterations. Select all that apply.

Alginate

A nurse is caring for a client who has a 6-cm × 8-cm wound caused by a motor vehicle accident. The wound is currently infected and draining large amounts of green exudate. A foul odor is also noted. The wound bed is moist with a yellow and red wound bed. Which dressing does the nurse anticipate is best to be ordered by the primary care provider?

Different types of dressing

Alginates are used in infected or noninfected wounds with moderate to heavy drainage. Alginates are used with moist wound beds with red and yellow tissue. Hydrogels are used with dry wounds or wounds with minimal drainage. Hydrocolloids are used with light to moderate drainage in wounds with necrosis or slough. Transparent dressings are used with wounds having minimal drainage, small size, and partial thickness

Phases of wound healing

Hemostasis is the initial phase after an injury. Hemostasis stimulates other cells to come to the wound to begin with other phases of wound healing. The inflammatory phase follows hemostasis; white blood cells move into the wound to remove debris and to release growth factors. The proliferation phase is the regenerative phase in which granulation tissue is formed. The maturation phase involves collagen remodeling.

"I make sure to limit how much I drink so that I don't have accidents."

Several of the clients on a geriatric subacute medicine unit are experiencing urinary incontinence from differing causes. Which statement suggests that the client requires further education?

Types of incontinence

Stress incontinence occurs when there is an involuntary loss of urine related to an increase in intra-abdominal pressure. This commonly occurs during coughing, sneezing, laughing, or other physical activities. Transient incontinence appears suddenly and lasts for 6 months or less. It is usually caused by treatable factors, such as confusion secondary to acute illness, infection, and as a result of medical treatment (e.g., use of diuretics, IV fluid administration). Total incontinence is a continuous and unpredictable loss of urine, resulting from surgery, trauma, or physical malformation. Urination cannot be controlled due to an anatomic abnormality.
