Dermatology Nursing Module: Skin Functions, Lesion Assessment, Common Skin Conditions and the Nursing Process

Nursing dermatology module (HNS B401) built on assessing skin conditions, describing the common ones and applying the nursing process to their management. It takes the functions of the skin - temperature regulation, blood storage, physical, chemical and infection protection, sensation, excretion and absorption, and vitamin D synthesis - the integumentary system and its types of skin, then the lesions, their terminology and the diagnostic tests, and closes on corticosteroid therapy when conservative measures fail and the autoimmunity running through so many of the conditions.
