...Evidence Based Nursing Practice Morise Oluwole Walden University Nurs 4000- Research and Scholarship for Evidence -Based Practice September 6, 2015 PRESSURE ULCERS An essential part of nursing care of hospitalized patients is skin integrity maintenance. As markers of the values or products of care most affected by the assessment and interventions delivered by nurses, the rate of PUs is being screened thoroughly now than ever before (Manning, 2015). Pressure ulcers (PUs) are preventable, but PU rates persist to increase disturbingly fast, according to an article by Gary and Hampton published in 2015, the incidence of PUs has increased in the US between 1995 and 2008. The purpose of this paper is to review the incidence of PUs and how to prevent its occurrence and nurses’ responsibility. Practice Setting Problem Pressure ulcer occurs when part of the skin and the tissues underneath are impaired as a result of being placed under enough pressure to impair blood supply. Immobility-related pressure ulcers are defined as localized areas of tissue damage that develops when soft tissue is compressed between a bony prominence and an external surface for a prolonged time. The most common sites were the sacrum, the heel, the ischium and the trochanter. Pressure is where the weight of the body squeezes the tissues between a bony prominence (such as heel, elbow, sacrum or ischials etc) and a hard surface (such as bed, chair or, in the case of heels, the floor). There are four...

...University of Santo Tomas College of Science Isolation of Microorganisms from Environmental Samples Experiment 6 (Group 6) JALIPA, Jomari T. JAVIER, Rhea A. JIMENEZ, Ma. Mikaela P. JURILLA, Joaquim Gerardo L. March 2016 ABSTRACT The exercise aims to enumerate the various microbial species that are present in a particular environment by collecting different substances such as pond water and soil that will be the source of microorganisms to be isolated and identified. Moreover, this exercise also aims to isolate microorganisms from the environment. This will be done by exposing half-strength Nutrient Agar plates to a specific site the experimenters chose. After which, the Agar plate will be incubated and the colonies formed were observed in the laboratory. INTRODUCTION There are approximately 10,000 named species of microorganisms. It is estimated that there are between 10,000 and 100,000 more unidentified species for every identified one (Truckee Meadows Community College, n.d.). Upon appearance, these microbes have evolved, diversified and virtually occupied every habitat possible on earth; from extreme environments to the corners of our nails, or from the deepest parts of the ocean to the tip of the high mountains. The ubiquity of these microorganisms causes them to populate in natural environments whether suspended in air, in water or associated with other organisms (ie: humans). Different surfaces whether inside or outside...

...Integumentary Disorders Anatomy of the skin The skin consists of 3 layers: 1. Epidermis- non vascular outermost layer, continuously dividing cells 2. Dermis- takes the largest portion of the skin and provides strength and structure. It consists of glands (sebaceous, sweat), hair follicle, blood vessels, and nerve endings 3. Subcutaneous tissue (hypodermis)- the inner most layer. contains major vascular networks, fat, nerves, and lymphatics Function of the skin • Protection- protection of underlying structures from invasion by bacteria, noxious chemicals and foreign matter. • Sensory perception- transmits pain, touch, pressure, temperature, itching, etc • Fluid balance (excretion)- absorption of fluids and evaporation of excess. • Temperature regulation- produced heat released through skin by radiation, conduction, and convection 1|Page • Vitamin synthesis- skin exposed to ultra violet light can convert substances necessary for synthesizing vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). • Aesthetic- affects appearance Factors influencing skin integrity • Immoblity is the major factor leading to pressure sore development . • The pt who is confined to bed & unable to change position is at greatest risk . • Trauma most likely occur – over the prominent areas – weight bearing areas • • Prolonged pressure impairs blood flow to tissue & resulfs in ischemia & inferction The extent of pressure necessary to cause tisue damage...

...3 million of patient admitted in the healthcare setting, and account up to $5 million in annual health care expenditure. Healing a single pressure ulcer can cost as much as $90,000 (McGee, 2000). Pressure ulcers can develop in immobilized, elderly patient and those that have physical impairment especially on those patients living in long term care facilities. According to research about 15% of patient admitted to the nursing home have pressure ulcer upon admission and those without pressure ulcer develop it within two years of their stay. About 9% of hospitalized patient develop pressure ulcer (McGee,2000). For instance in the hospital where I practice, this problem was rampant , either because nurses do not perform thorough skin assessment upon admission, or the nurses and other health care providers are not giving quality care to the patient. In most case, it was due to the carelessness of nurses, some patient already develops the pressure ulcer upon admission, but it was not realized initially, therefore the hospital is responsible for the cost of treatment and long hospital stay. This problem prompted the hospital to set up an association/committee that collaborates with experts and researchers to provide the best treatment and prevention of pressure ulcer using evidence based practice. This committee elected some representatives who monitor wound protocol as a method of evaluating quality of care. They also introduce a guideline entitled “pressure ulcer prevention...

...reached the age of 22, I developed a case of adult acne. My symptoms consisted of cystic pimples around my jawline, chin and neck. The acne severely impacted my self-image and psychological well-being at this time, since I had just started my first job after graduating college and had to work with clients in person. After seeing a dermatologist, I was diagnosed with moderate-to-severe late-onset adult acne. Anatomical Structure and Physiological Processes Affected by Adult Acne Acne - General Acne is a chronic skin disorder affecting both adolescents and adults. The birthplace of acne is the pore around the hair follicle. Each hair follicle contains sebaceous glands that produce a fatty oil called sebum which is meant to lubricate the hair and skin. Hair follicles become clogged with shedding cells from the lining of the follicle, and clump together blocking the sebum from traveling up from the hair shaft and out through the pore. When the excess dead skin cells and sebum are present, they solidify as a soft plug that may close the pore. This causes the follicle wall to bulge and a whitehead is formed. Blackheads are formed if the pore remains open and the top surface of the plug darkens. A pimple then develops when the wall of the hair follicle ruptures. An inflammatory response is stimulated by P. acnes (Propionibacterium acnes) and other microorganisms, resulting in a red pimple filled with pus (Howard). Adult Acne in Females There are two types of adult acne:...

...Skin has three layers: Epidermis - The epidermis, the outermost layer of skin, provides a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone. Dermis - The dermis, beneath the epidermis, contains tough connective tissue, hair follicles and sweat glands. Hypodermis - The deeper subcutaneous tissue (hypodermis) is made of fat and connective tissue. Skin serves several functions such as: Regulation of body temperature. In response to high environmental temperature or strenuous exercise, the evaporation of sweat from the skin surface helps lower an elevated body temperature to normal. In response to low environmental temperature, production of sweat is decreased, which helps conserve heat. Changes in the flow of blood to the skin also help regulate...

...above, we can see that we have extended our service to some days. This is due to some unavoidable circumstances happened during the event day. The total batches that we planned to provide a service is 10 batches. However, during the event, only 7 batches were attended. Another 3 batches were not available due to assignment trip. Therefore, we proceeded with the services and lessons with a total of 7 batches. Everything went smoothly as per planned except on the skin analysis and the make-up lesson. Unfortunately, our skin analysis machine was not functioning well and our make-up artist, Carmen Wong who is supposely to give the make-up talk and lesson was unable to attend the event due to illness. These are the reason why we can not proceed with make-up lesson and the skin analysis service on that event day which is on July 31st. Other than that, the evaluation form has been completed on that day for us to review. With that, we received a feedback from the evaluation form. Most of them wanted the make-up lesson and skin analysis service to be operated. Therefore, we planned to perform again to make our service complete 100% in order to satisfy everyone’s needs. We feel that our reputation in delivering good services is important as our major concern is customer’s satisfaction. Besides, we noticed that we should extend the lesson...

...device • Impaired sensory perception (impaired ability to respond meaningfully to pressure-related discomfort). Patients without sensory perception impairment remove or request removal of shoes, stockings, or medical devices that feel uncomfortable or too tight. Conversely, patients with sensory perception impairment may not adequately communicate discomfort such as with confusion, disorientation, over-sedation or unresponsiveness. Patients who are alert and oriented may also be unable to communicate discomfort if they are orally intubated, speak a different language than their caregivers, or cannot feel pain due to paralysis or neuropathy. • Moisture may be a cofactor for the development of device related pressure ulcers making the skin less resilient in the presence of nasal, oral, or gastric secretions or oxygen humidity. Common Presentation/Differential Diagnosis • Located under or near a medical device • May not be associated with a bony prominence • Sometimes in the shape of a medical device • Rapid deterioration to sDTI, stage III, IV or unstagable due to locations without fatty tissue (i.e. nares, behind the...

...Is Apremilast a safe and effective alternative to use in patients presenting with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who qualify for phototherapy or biologics? Background: Plaque psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that appears on the skin and presents as patches of thick, red, itchy, and scaly skin, particularly on the scalp, elbows, and knees.6,9 Psoriasis is a serious medical condition and affects approximately 7.5 million individuals.3 The current treatment regimen for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis consists of systemic agents, phototherapy, or biologic agents. Apremilast is the first oral drug to receive FDA approval (march 21, 2014), it is an oral phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor (PDE4) which works intracellularly to prevent the breakdown of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) which is important for cellular processes such as inflammation, and it prevents pro-inflammatory cytokine production. Apremilast inhibitors tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interferon-gamma, and interleukinds-12, 23 and others. It is important to determine if apremilast can be used as an alternative therapy for patients who are not responding to biologics or phototherapy, and those who...

...1.1The skin is a live and always developing organ that contains many special cells and structures. The skins' function is to act as a protective barrier that can sometimes encounter hostile environments. The skin is also vital maintaining the proper body temperature in order to function well. It is very complex as it gathers sensory information from the environment, and plays an important role in the immune system protecting us from disease. There is a 3 layer structure of the skin; the epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissue. Pressure sores can happen because of reduced mobility, for example being in the same position whether it be in a chair or bed; the skin is not exposed to enough air and bodily fluids can build up, causing a sore from...
