Richards Story

Apart from disfigurement, other psychosocial issues Richard might view include but ar non limited to sleep disorder, idolise and anxiety around open flames, depression, loose of self-esteem and PTSD. Additional fear needs to be taken to make sure Richard maintains some functions in his flame fingers. Some of these precautions should be occupational therapy and physical therapy. Due Richard was burn in the face, other systems may be compromised.The systems that could be affected are the respiratory system (because his nose could be burnt), the digestive system (because if his address is affected, then his ability to eat, chew or drink might be impeded. ) and ofcourse his nervous system as the buttocks in his face testament be dead. Based on the fact that Richard is losing a lot of dead body fluid his nutritional needs are high protein food, water, high large calorie drinks, fruits and vegetable, and fatty food because fat is a readily available man-made lake of energy.Par tial thickness burn is extremely painful because most of the philia endings which detect and interpret pain and sensation are located in the dermis where partial thickness burn occurs. Partial thickness burn would heal faster because it is not as deep into the skin and hence skin rejuvenation is more possible. Functions compromised by the burn on Richards skin are the ability to secret sweat, the ability to convert cheerfulness to vitamin D, ability to protect a earnst infection, ability to regulate temperature and the ability to protect against infection. early(a) skin functions that should be a concern to the medical staff is that Richards skin will lose the ability to store blood and in that location will be no tissue developth. His skin will likewise lose the ability to maintain water and salt balance. It is unlikely for Richard to grow pilus to cover the mark offs on his chest because his hair follicles in the burnt area are damaged and there can be no more hair growth because of this. Also the scar tissue is back the pores from which hair sprouts. During the first phase of wound healing, inflammation takes place first. Blisters orm on the outer edges of the burns as the wounds begin to form scabs. Formation of granulation tissue tissue will not lead to normal appearing/ formation of skin as Richard heals. This is because granulation tissue is scar tissue and scar tissue does not appear normal or allow hair growth or normal skin function. Some long termination consequences include the inability to regulate temperature and feel pain because of the dead nerve endings at the site of the burn. Numbness may occur, his body will not be able to secret sweat and he might gain weight because of this.
