Question

The wound care nurse evaluates a client's wound after being consulted. the client's wound healing has been slow. upon assessment of the wound, the wound care nurse informs the medical-surgical nurse that the wound healing is being delayed due to client's state of dehydration and dehydrated tissues in the wound that are crusty. what is another term for localized dehydration in a wound?

Answer 1

Desiccation

Step-by-step explanation:

Skin healing involves a huge range of events and special situations. It consists of a perfect and coordinated cascade of cellular and molecular events that interact for repaving and tissue reconstitution. With all the other metabolic processes in the body, healing depends largely on the degree of hydration the individual's body is. In cases of dehydration, desiccation may occur, which is localized dehydration of a wound, which consists of slow healing and scabbing of the wound tissues.
