Temperature * Warm = normal * Cool = ↓ circulation * Hot = infection/inflammation 🔹 2. Color * Pallor → anemia / ↓ oxygen * Cyanosis → poor oxygenation (BLUE = BAD) * Redness → inflammation / pressure 🔹 3. Turgor * Pinch skin (usually chest or forehead) * Normal = snaps back quickly * Tented = dehydration 🔹 4. Moisture * Dry → dehydration * Diaphoretic → fever, stress * Excess moisture → breakdown risk 🔹 5. Integrity * Intact vs open areas * Look for: * wounds * tears * ulcers 🔹 6. Capillary Refill * Press nail bed * Normal = < 2 seconds * Delayed = poor perfusion 🔹 7. Edema * Swelling = fluid buildup * Check severity (pitting scale) 🚨 PRIORITY AREAS TO CHECK * Bony prominences (sacrum, heels, elbows) * Skin folds (obese patients) * Under devices (oxygen tubing, stockings) * Areas with ↓ sensation ⚠️ HIGH-YIELD FINDINGS * Non-blanchable redness = Stage 1 pressure injury * Cool, pale skin = ↓ perfusion * Moist skin = ↑ breakdown risk 🩹 2. SKIN TRAUMA & PRESSURE ULCERS – DETAILED NOTES 📄 ⭐ What is Skin Trauma?
