Answer 1

Alteration in health or diagnosis-

Electrical burns

Pathophisiology-

The pathophisiology of electric burns depends on the voltage of current causing it, tissue resistance and intensity of burns. Voltage, current, frequency and resistance. The current flows with least resistant path firstly through the vessles, muscles and tissues and then through the skin, fat, tendon and bone. The current gets in contact with human body and follows this path to cover the damage.

Health promotion-

Avoid contact with equipment and electrical supplies with naked hands and enviornment presented with high risk.

Assessment-

Risk factors-

Cintact with appliances, cardiac and respiratory issues.

Findings-

The patient suffers from contact burns due to electric shock

Lab diagnosis-

CBC count, electrolyte test, ceratinine

Diagnostic procedure-

Physical assessment and laboratory tests

Patient centred care

Nursing care-

Provide communication and appropriate interventions for better recovery

Assess the extent of burn and provide releif from pain and symptoms

Therapeutic procedure-

Electrolyte balance, pain releif and psychological counselling for mental trauma

Client education-

Avoid exposure to water and any fluid, allow recover through natural process and adhere to medications

Interprofessional care-

Team members such as doctor, physician, nurse, burn specialist, counsellor, mental health service provider, social worker etc.
