Warm Up Objective: Scientists will describe wounds and burns by analyzing and creating a model. What is the topic? What will you be doing? Why is this important? How will you know if you have done well?
Warm Up Objective: Scientists will describe wounds and burns by analyzing and creating a model. What is the topic? Wounds and burns What will you be doing? Analyzing and creating a model Why is this important? Life lesson, understand more about us, future career How will you know if you have done well? Able to describe wounds and burns; completed work
Burns Epithelial injury due to thermal, radioactive, chemical, or electrical agent. Generally the skin, but can involve respiratory and GI tract Local affect is not as serious as systemic effect (dehydration, shock, reduced circulation, urine production, bacterial infections) Four degrees of burns
1st Degree Pain Redness Swelling Tissue damage in the epidermis Sunburns are typically 1st degree burns
2nd Degree Pain Redness Swelling Blistering Epidermis damage and partially dermis Blood vessels and nerves are not affected
3rd Degree White or blackened, charred skin that may be numb Tissue is deep dermis to hypodermal layer Blood vessels and nerves destroyed Skin grafting is necessary to prevent infection, gangrene, and death
4th Degree Destroys all tissue Exposes muscle and bone
Wounds Skin deflects injuries and barrier against pathogens Process of wound healing depends on the extent and severity (Reading details the wound healing process)
Laceration Tissue tearing Blunt force Typically jagged edges, so scarring occurs
Abrasion Skin is rubbed off by rough surface “Road rash” Little to no scarring, depending on depth
Avulsion Skin catches on an object, while body part continues motion Tears the skin away from tissues below Skin may be torn completely off or hanging as a flap May be surgically re-attached or removed and replaced with skin graft Moderate scarring
Puncture Injury that is deeper than it is wide Surface may heal too fast, trapping infection inside Little scarring
Design Challenge Teams of 2-4 SHARE your table’s materials Remember: SUSTAINABILITY! Please do not waste materials. Choose to demonstrate one of the types of injuries: burn (first, second, or third degree), laceration, abrasion, avulsion, puncture Select a wound location. Examples are provided, but you can choose your own as long as it is not covered by clothing. Be sure to use anatomical terminology. If choosing the manus, you may create your wound on a glove. If the brachial, you may create your wound on the plastic wrap. Sketch the wound in the space provided. Describe the wound using anatomical terminology. Create your wound on ONE person in your team. Take a picture of your wound and text it to 352-874-5567 with names! Answer the analysis questions.

Time Remaining? Patient goes to a different group Have them diagnose the wound or burn Have them decide treatment plan Does your group agree? Explain. Write this on the back of your paper!
