Chapter 5, Problem 2CCS
21-Year-Old Female with Skeletal Injuries
While riding her bike to campus, 21-year-old Liliana Rose was struck by a car. Examination in the Emergency Department reveals several injuries. Relative to her integumentary system, the following comments are noted on her chart:
•Epidermal abrasions of the right lateral upper arm and anterior shoulder.
•A deep, 2-cm laceration extending vertically on right lateral cheek and a horizontal 1-cm laceration on the temple.
•Cyanosis is apparent in her nail beds and lips.
The lacerated areas are cleaned, sutured (stitched), and bandaged by the emergency room (ER) personnel.
2. Assuming that bacteria have penetrated the dermis in these areas, what remaining skin defenses might act to prevent further bacterial invasion?

1. Describe both conditions and their symptoms using proper terminology.
2. To treat the callus, you decide to shave off some of the excess epidermis. While doing this, you notice
that there is no pain or bleeding. Why wouldn't it cause pain to remove only the superficial part of the
epidermis? Why wouldn't it bleed?
3. Unfortunately, you go a bit overboard and feel a sudden pinch, after which you notice you are
bleeding. What has happened? Are you still in the epidermis? Explain.
4. A treatment for Onychocryptosis is to remove the nail and apply a chemical such as phenol to the cells of
the nail matrix, which kills the cells. What effect will killing the cells of the nail matrix have on the nail?
Explain.
