In addition, neonates’ skin Hormonal changes- acne, sweat is much more permeable, which leads to a greater sensitivity to external irritants and an increased susceptibility to opportunistic infections in these children. 4 10.2 INTEGRATE KNOWLEDGE OF THE INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM AND LINES OF DEFENSE INTO THE NURSING CARE FOR PEDIATRIC PATIENTS. 5 LINES OF DEFENSE EPIDERMIS consists of dead skin cells that are constantly brushed off and regrow monthly, thereby preventing bacterial colonization. DERMIS contains hair follicles with arrector pili muscles, eccrine (sweat) glands, blood vessels, and nerve endings. SUBCUTANEOUS TISSUE provides an anchor for the dermis to the bone and muscle via connective tissue; this fat layer also assists with temperature regulation. 6 10.3 IDENTIFY COMMON SKIN ALTERATIONS IN CHILDHOOD 7 10.4 DESCRIBE THE NURSING PLAN OF CARE FOR COMMON SKIN ALTERATIONS INCLUDING BACTERIAL INFECTIONS (IMPETIGO), ZOONOTIC AILMENTS (ANIMAL BITES), VIRAL INFECTIONS (VARICELLA, MEASLES AND SHINGLES) AND FUNGAL INFECTIONS (TINEA CAPITIS, TINEA CORPORIS, TINEA CRURIS, TINEA PEDIS, AND ORAL CANDIDIASIS. 8 BACTERIAL INFECTIONS IM PETIGO Caused by Staph, highly contagious, topical antibiotic treatment.
