Following a burn, charring and insensitivity to pain was found over the entire surface of the right lower limb, entire surface o

EastWind [94]

Answer:

The burn may be classified as a Fourth-degree burn with 31 % of TBSA.

Explanation:

There are 4 types of burn classifications: Superficial burn (first-degree), Superficial partial thickness burn or Deep partial thickness burn (second-degree), Full thickness burn (third-degree), and Fourth-degree burn.

<h3>Superficial burn or First-degree burn</h3>

Involved layer is epidermis
It appears red without blisters with dry texture
With sensation of pain is present
Healing time within 5 - 10 days and heals well with no complications.

<h3>Superficial partial thickness burn/Deep partial thickness burn or Second-degree burn</h3>

It extends to the dermis. (papillary for superficial, reticular for deep)
Blanches with pressure, with or without blistering, red to yellow, white appearance, moist to dry texture
It still presents with pain, superficial and deep.
Healing may take 2-3 weeks for superficial, 3-8 weeks for deep. Local infection may occur and scarring may ensue.

<h3>Full thickness burn (Third-degree)</h3>

Destroys the entire dermis.
Stiff with white-brown appearance, NO blanching, with leathery texture.
Painless
Long time needed for recovery. It may need surgical removal of dead tissue.

<h3>Fourth-degree burn</h3>

Encompasses the whole layer of skin and underlying fat, exposing the bones and/or muscles.
Black and charred (eschar), dry texture.
Painless
Definitely needs surgical removal of dead tissue to allow recovery.
It may also cause significant functional disability.

<h3 /><h3>Wallace “Rule of Nines” </h3>

To determine for the burn percentage, we use the Wallace “Rule of Nines” chart. It estimates the percentage of total body surface area (TBSA) that has been destroyed by burns. The diagram attached shows the body divided into multiple sections which represent 9% of the body surface area.

For the example, we have the following given and corresponding percentages:

Entire surface of the right lower limb - 18% (the whole right leg is affected, front and back, so that's 18%)
Entire surface of right trunk - 9% (The trunk is 18% in whole, but in this example, only the right trunk is affected, so that's 9%)
Anterior surface of the right upper limb - 4.5% (Only the front surface of the right arm is affected so it's 4.5%)

% TSBA = 18 + 9 + 4.5

Naddik [55]

Answer:

The best answer to the question: Which statement by the healthcare provider will likely answer the client´s question about the result, would be: that the patient´s diabetes and hypertension conditions are most probably the causes for the damage to the patient´s kidney, causing the decrease in production of urine, the main characteristic of chronic kidney disease.

Explanation:

Chronic kidney disease is a condition in which, due to different factors, the kdney becomes impaired to properly filter the blood to produce urine. Among the most common factors that can cause damage to the kidneys are hypertension and diabetes, and this damage can be ascertained not only with the measure of how much the kidneys are filtering, known as GFR (Glomerular filtration rate), which should normally be between 90 ml/min and 120 ml/min, but also the levels of creatinine in blood serum. In the case of this patient, he is already presenting the signs and symptoms of chronic kidney disease and the way to help him understand why, is by connecting his other two conditions: diabetes and hypertension, to the kidney condition by showing him that the two formers, cause the later.
