QuestionAnswer
Exudate classification: presents as clear, light color with a thin, watery consistency serous
Exudate classification: presents as red with a thin, watery consistency sanguineous • appears to be red due to presence of blood, or may be brown if allowed to dehydrate
Exudate classification: presents as light red or pink with a thin, watery consistency serosanguineous
Exudate classification: presents as opaque, yellow or tan color with thin, watery consistency seropurulent • may be an early warning sign of impending infection.

pressure ulcer staging • Stage I observable pressure-related alteration of intact skin. • may include: change in skin color, temperature, stiffness, or sensation
pressure ulcer staging • Stage II partial-thickness skin loss. involves epidermis and/or dermis. • ulcer is superficial and presents as abrasion, blister or a shallow crater.
pressure ulcer staging • Stage III full-thickness skin loss that involves damage or necrosis of subcutaneous tissues. May extend to but not through underlying fascia. • presents as a deep crater with or without undermining adjacent tissue.

Superficial burn involves only outer epidermis. area may be red with slight edema. no scarring.
Superficial partial-thickness burn involves epidermis and upper portion of the dermis. may be extremely painful and exhibit blisters. minimal to no scarring.
Deep partial-thickness burn involves complete destruction of the epidermis and majority of dermis. may appear discolored with broken blisters and edema. damages to nerve endings may result in only moderate pain. hypertrophic scars and keloids.
Full thickness burn involves complete destruction of epidermis and dermis along with partial damage of subcutaneous fat layer. eschar formation and minimal pain. requires grafts and may be susceptible to infection.
Subdermal burn involves complete destruction of epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissues. may involve muscle and bone. often requires surgical intervention.
