Tinea pedis fungal infection of the foot; athlete's foot
Tinea corporis fungal infection on the arms or legs
tinea versicolor fungal infection on the trunk and extremities
tinea capitis fungal infection on the scalp, eyebrows, or eyelashes
tinea cruris fungal infection on the groin
What are the three organisms most often responsible for tinea are Epidermophyton,
Microsporum, and Trichophyton
Malassezia furfur causes tinea versicolor
Assessment for fungal infections -note onset of rash and whether it is itchy
-determine if patient has visited the barber
-note contact with damp areas (locker rooms, swimming pools)
-use of nylon socks or nonbreathable shoes or minor trauma to the feet
-wrestling
-inspect skin and scalp
-Scaping and KOH preparation show branching hypahe. For tinea wapitis, the Wood lamp will
florsece yellow-green if it is caused by Microsproum, but not with Trichophyton. A fungal
culture of a plucked hair is more reliable for diagonsis of tinea capitis
Nursing management for fungal infections Maintain appropriate hygiene and administer
antifungal agensts as prescribed
, Nursing management for tinea corporis contagious; child can return to day care or school
once treatment has begun
What do you need to tell parents/child with tinea captis hair will regrow within 3 to 12
months
Nursing managment for tinea capitis wash sheets and clothes in hot water to decrease the risk of
infection spreading to other family members
Nursing managment for tinea pedis -keep feet clean and dry, rinse feet with water or a
water/vinegar mixture and dry them well, espically between the toes
-wear cotton socks and breathable shoes
nursing managment for tinea versicolor return to normal skin pigmentation may take several
months
nursing managment for tinea cruris wear cotton underwear and loose clothing
Nursing Interventions for fungal infections -keep shaving equipment clean
-protect involved area
-anti-fungal soaps
-foot, perineal care
-avoid direct contact

superficial burns epidermis only (sunburn), painful and red, spontaneous recovery in 7 days
partial thickness burn a burn involving the epidermis and dermis that usually involves blisters;
commonly called a second-degree burn
deep partial thickness burn extends into the skin dermis and the wound is red and dry, with
white areas in deeper parts; can convert to a full-thickness burn if tissue damage increases with
infection, hypoxia, or ischemia
full thickness burn a burn in which all the layers of the skin are damaged. There are usually
areas that are charred black or areas that are dry and white. Also called a third-degree burn.
therapeutic managment of burns focuses on fluid resuscitation, wound care, prevention of
infection, and restoration of function; infections are treated with antibiotics
nursing assessment for burns Airway, breathing, circulation
Stop the burn, cover, transport to aid
History and type of burn - 10%-25% of burns are due to child abuse
