Final answer:
Prolonged contact with skin antisepsis agents can lead to chemical burns and skin rashes/irritations due to the damaging effect of chemicals on skin cells, as well as potential allergic reactions.
Step-by-step explanation:
Prolonged contact of skin antisepsis agents due to pooling of the solutions can cause patient injuries that include chemical burns and skin rashes/irritations. Chemicals can damage the skin or be absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream, leading to various complications. Chemical burn results when skin is damaged by intense chemicals. The damage can result in the death of skin cells, similarly to how they respond to intense heat. In addition to direct skin damage, contact with certain chemical agents can also induce contact dermatitis or delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions, which contribute to skin rashes or irritations.
