A _______________ degree burn is the least severe type of burn and can be treated with cool running water. You may also want to

Rainbow [258]

ANSWER AND EXPLANATION: If a first-degree burn affects only a small area of skin you can treat it as a minor burn, according to the American Red Cross. However, if large areas of skin on the hands, feet, face, groin, buttocks, or over a major joint are burned, call your doctor or go to a local medical facility.

If a second-degree burn covers an area only a few inches in diameter and doesn't affect your hands, feet, face, groin, genitals, buttocks, or a major joint, you may also treat it as a minor burn. Otherwise, get medical help immediately. Someone burned in these areas may need a specialist for treatment. Treating mild to moderate burns promptly will ease pain, limit the injury, and speed healing.

What to do

The best way to treat mild to moderate burns is to cool them immediately. This prevents further tissue damage. First, remove any jewelry or loose clothes from the affected area. Don't remove clothing that has stuck to the burned area, however, or you may cause additional injury to the skin.

Then hold the burned area under cold running water for at least five minutes or until the pain subsides, or immerse the burn in cold water. You can also apply a cold compress to the burn if water is unavailable or unclean. Don't use ice water or put ice directly on a burn, as this may further damage the skin.

Next, cover the burn with a sterile non-adhesive gauze bandage, wrapped loosely to avoid pressure. (Bandaging protects blistered skin from potential contamination by airborne bacteria.) Change the bandages daily if the burn is blistered and oozing, and take an over-the-counter pain reliever if the burn continues to hurt. An anti-inflammatory pain reliever, such as ibuprofen, can help reduce inflammation as well as the pain.

Blisters sometimes form over second-degree burns. Try not to break these: Blisters are part of the body's normal healing process and protect against infection. If a blister does break, wash the area gently with mild soap and cool water, then -- if the burn is not serious -- apply an antibiotic ointment to prevent infection. If it's severe, don't apply an ointment or lotion of any kind. Have your doctor look at the burn and help you decide whether to apply ointment and, if so, which antibiotic preparation is likely to be most effective.

Small first-degree or second-degree burns can take up to three weeks to heal completely. During that time, watch for signs of infection, including redness, swelling, oozing, increased pain, or fever. If you develop any of these symptoms, get medical help. Even after the burn heals, it's a good idea to protect the area with sunscreen for at least a year whenever you go out.

Viktor [21]

Answer:

1. Risk factors that could have predisposed the given client for the development of cancer are:

Life style risk factors-

Smoking: Smoking plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of cancer as the mutagens in the smoke are potentially carcinogenic with 2 to 4 % of increased relative risk in individuals with smoking when compared to non smoking individuals.

Family history: Family history of br_east cancer (first degree relative (mother) as well as grandmother) is also a greatest risk factor in this client as the relative risk of cancer in individuals with positive family history is 4 to 6 % more when compared to individuals with negative cancer history. The proto-oncogenes such as BRCA1, BRCA2 exhibit inheritable pattern and lead to development of cancer

Underlying conditions-

Diabetes and obesity: Underlying co-morbidities such as Diabetes, obesity such as aggravate the carcinogenesis and increase the risk of cancer. The relative risk of breast cancer in individuals with Diabetes and obesity is 1 to 2%

Social risk factors-

Stress: The statements such as "the client being busy with her children" and "haven't had time" and delay in receiving the medical attention despite of the abnormal self examination, no previous mammogram are indicators of stress which is another potential risk factor in the development of cancer

Non compliance to diet and medications: Poor control of diet, diabetes, non compliance to medications can result in micro and macrovascular changes which can further increase the risk of metastasis and cancer development. No previous mammogram even though the risk of individual is high also could have led to delayed identification in the given case

2. Signs and symptoms in the given client which indicate cancer are:

Nipple pain: Pain could be due to obstruction to the areola by the tumor

Lump in the right br_east upon palpation: Development of tumor mass could have led to the presence of lump

Tenderness: Inflammation due to tumor can result in tenderness, warmth in the given individual

Unusual tiredness (fatigue): Increased oxygen demand due to tumor, or metastasis to the lung which can impair gas exchange can result in fatigue as seen in this client

3. Three care strategies to provide quality care and their rationales:

As the client is still in the diagnostic phase of Br_east cancer, following care strategies are indicated to provide quality care:

i. Minimizing uncertainity about the condition by providing correct information, and discussing about the diagnostic procedures and treatment options

Rationale: As the client is already in stress and had a history of non compliance with medications, treatment, providing correct information and minimizing uncertainity helps in promoting patient compliance and reduces uncertainity

ii. Promoting physical and psychological well-being of the individual by instituting care measures that prevent further progression of disease,

Rationale: Promoting physical and psychological well being helps in preparing the individual for the expected outcomes, reduces anxiety, alters perception about the general condition and promotes active participation of the client in the treatment

iii. Facilitating social support and instituting collaborative care

Rationale: Increased burden on the client in the care of her three children can take an additional toll on the treatment modalities of the individual. Thus, facilitating social support and exploring community resources for all round care could help in patient directed care
