    Study Notes

    Urinary Tract and Associated Conditions

    • Bacteriuria is most commonly caused by urinary tract infections (UTIs).
    • Bilirubinuria is associated with liver disease or conditions that cause increased bilirubin levels in the blood.
    • Ketonuria is most likely caused by uncontrolled diabetes, fasting, or low-carbohydrate diets.
    • Hematuria indicates the presence of blood in the urine, often detected through urine dipstick tests.

    Urinalysis Indicators

    • Leukocyte esterase indicates the presence of white blood cells in urine, suggesting a urinary tract infection.
    • Proteinuria is commonly associated with kidney disease, diabetes, or hypertension.

    Skin Lesions

    • Keloid lesions are characterized by irregular, elevated scar tissue formed by excessive collagen growth during wound healing.
    • Plaque lesions are flat-topped and larger than 2 cm in diameter.
    • Petechiae are purplish lesions caused by free red blood cells in the skin that do not blanch on pressure; they may be nodular.
    • A fissure is described as a crack in the skin that breaks through keratin.
    • A vesicle is a blister smaller than 0.5 cm in diameter.
    • Ulcer lesions involve loss of both epidermal and dermal tissues.

    Hearing Loss Classifications

    • Moderate hearing loss requires the use of hearing aids to hear normal conversation.
    • Severe hearing loss allows individuals to hear sounds but not distinguish words without visual cues.
    • Conductive hearing loss is most commonly caused by ear infections or blockages, such as earwax buildup.
    • Sensorineural hearing loss is characterized by disorders affecting the inner ear, auditory nerve, or auditory pathways in the brain.

    Vision Conditions

    • Myopia, or nearsightedness, is caused by an eyeball that is too long or a cornea that is too steep, causing light to focus in front of the retina.

    Communication Needs

    • Profound hearing loss necessitates lip reading and sign language for effective communication.

    Skin Cancer Types

    • Melanoma is the most lethal type of skin cancer, often presenting as irregularly shaped moles or growths.
    • Basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer in the U.S. and rarely metastasizes.
    • Squamous cell carcinoma may present as a non-healing ulcer or firm, red nodule.

    Wound Healing Factors

    • Ischemia and inadequate circulation predispose individuals to complications like infarction and gangrene.
    • Neutrophil phagocytosis and collagen synthesis require proper nutrients and oxygen.
    • Individuals with diminished WBC activity, such as older adults or those with certain conditions, are more susceptible to delayed wound healing and infections.
    • Keloid formation during wound healing is marked by excessive growth of collagen, leading to firm, raised scars.
    • Contractures result in inflexible shrinkage of wound tissue, commonly observed in burn victims.
    • Factors affecting wound regeneration in infants versus adults include differences in metabolism, immune response, and tissue regeneration capacity.
