Reference no: EM133731951

A CASE STUDY Rumor has it that you are a specialist in maintaining skin integrity for those suffering from incontinence. Therefore, you are consulted by an LTC (long-term care) facility to evaluate Mrs. Brood peri-genital skin. Mrs. Brood suffers from dual incontinence (urine & stool) once a day. Staff report that she has periods of redness, scaling, and weeping on her skin under her disposable undergarment. You note that a plastic like underwear is over her undergarment to prevent her slacks from getting wet. What is the most likely type of MASD and its risk factors? Identify evidence-based skin care recommendations for treatment and why? In addition, what are some characteristic signs/symptoms of a fungal infection and how would you treat if Mrs. Brood experienced those symptoms?
