Richards Story

Apart from disfigurement, other psychosocial issues Richard might face embroil but are not limited to sleep disorder, fear and misgiving around open flames, depression, loose of self-esteem and PTSD. Additional precaution of necessity to be taken to make sure Richard maintains some functions in his fire fingers. Some of these precautions should be occupational therapy and physical therapy. Due Richard was burnt 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 mouth is affected, so his qualification to eat, chew or drink might be impeded. ) and ofcourse his queasy system as the nerves in his face leave be dead. Based on the fact that Richard is losing a lot of body eloquent his nutritional needs are high protein food, water, high calorie drinks, fruits and vegetable, and greasy food because fat is a readily available source of energy. uncomplete t hickness burn is extremely painful because most of the nerve endings which note and interpret pain and sensation are located in the dermis where partial thickness burn occurs. Partial thickness burn would cure faster because it is not as deep into the discase and therefore pare rejuvenation is more possible. Functions compromised by the burn on Richards pare are the ability to secret sweat, the ability to convert sun to vitamin D, ability to protect against infection, ability to regulate temperature and the ability to protect against infection.Other scratch functions that should be a concern to the medical staff is that Richards sputter will stand the ability to store blood and there will be no wander product. His skin will also lose the ability to maintain water and salt balance. It is unlikely for Richard to grow sensory blur to cover the scars on his chest because his hair follicles in the burnt discipline are damaged and there can be no more hair growth because of this. Also the scar waver is covering the pores from which hair sprouts. During the first phase of wound healing, inflammation takes place first. Blisters orm on the outermost edges of the burns as the wounds begin to form scabs. Formation of granulation 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 term consequences hold 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 charge because of this.
