Compare and contrast diffusion and osmosis
Definition

Definition

·         Hypotonic (<300 mOsm/L)- water moves from the vascular space into the cell. Less particles. More water. Cell swells.

·         Hypertonic (>300 mOsm/L)- water moves from the cell to the vascular space. More particles. Less water. Cell shrinks.

·         Isotonic (300 mOsm/L)- there is no fluid shift/ Intravascular volume remains the same.

Term
First Degree Burn
Definition

Epidermis is slightly burned.

Can produce mild pain slight

            Swelling and redness of the

            Skin

Due to hot water, steam, hot object,

            Or by sun

Extensive sunburns cause restlessness

            Headaches and fever

Term
Second Degree, or Partial thickness
Definition

Injures the epidermis and extends down to dermis

These burns are very painful, and pulse increases

            Because of pain

Skin is really red and blistered and may look wet

            Because of fluid loss

Caused by deep sunburn, flames, hot liquids, gas or chemicals

If burn affects more than 10%, they may go into shock because of large

            quantities of fluid are lost

Term

Third Degree Burn

Definition

The epidermis and the dermis are completely destroyed

Skin can appear white, tan, brown, black, leathery, or deep

            Cherry red in color

Can be caused by prolonged contact with flames, hot liquids,

            Chemicals or electricity

Skin can regenerate in a 3rd degree burn only from the edges,

            And skin grafts are often necessary

Term
rule of nines
Definition

The body is divided into areas that are about 9% or multiples of it of the total body surface.

We assess the severity of a burn by determining what % of the total body surface affected

            Mild less than 15%

            Moderate more than 15%

            Severe more than 25%

Term

Explain the difference between partial-thickness & full-thickness burns

Definition

Partial thickness injures the dermis and epidermis while the full thickness completely destroys the two layers

Term

Explain why third degree burns are usually painless

Definition

3rd degree burn is usually painless because sensory

            Receptors are destroyed

Term

Definition
Interstitial fluid from burn site nourishes graft and facilitates healing. It also prevents infection.
