Description & Objectives:

There are so many different types of skin lesions, conditions, and diseases. Some are common at birth, while others develop from primary lesions, aging skin, and specific skin conditions or diseases. As skin ages, changes occur, making the skin more fragile and susceptible to injury. Other conditions that affect skin integrity are associated with moisture, medical devices, viruses, and cancer.

Upon completion of the program, the participant will be able to:

Describe three primary skin lesions.
List three age-related skin conditions, including specific signs and symptoms or related diseases.
Name at least two types of moisture-associated skin damage and describe two skin assessment findings for each.
