o candida

question 23

question 24
the diagnostic term that actually means the process of scraping away the skin by a mechanical process or injury is:
o ab/ras/ion
o contus/ion
o lacerat/ion
o gan/grene

Explanation:

• Question 22:
• Candida is a genus of yeasts. The term "candida" is derived from the Latin word "candidus" which means "white, glowing white".
• Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic fungal infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissue caused by dematiaceous fungi.
• Histoplasmosis is an infection caused by the fungus Histoplasma capsulatum.
• Tinea cruris is a fungal infection of the groin area (jock itch).
• Question 23:
• A subcutaneous injection is given into the hypodermis (the layer of skin beneath the dermis and above the muscle).
• An intramuscular injection is into the muscle.
• "Above the follicles" is not a standard injection site description.
• "Underneath the skin" is too vague; subcutaneous specifically refers to the hypodermis layer.
• Question 24:
• Abrasion (ab/ras/ion) is the process of scraping away the skin by a mechanical process or injury.
• Contusion (contus/ion) is a bruise (injury to the skin without breaking it, caused by a blow).
• Laceration (lacerat/ion) is a tear or deep cut in the skin.
• Gangrene (gan/grene) is the death of body tissue due to insufficient blood supply or bacterial infection.

Answer:

• Question 22: candida
• Question 23: into the hypodermis
• Question 24: ab/ras/ion
