The five skin disorders that I learned in class and on healthcommunities.com were lice, eczema, psoriasis, ulcers, and wound care. Below I am going to explain the five disorders. • Lice- Starting of I would aware the patient that anyone can get it, no matter how “clean” they are. I would also, as a medical assistant, explain to them the different treatments. Letting the patient know to not share combs, pillows, brushes, etc. is very important. Also letting them know to only use medication as prescribed is important. • Eczema- As a medical assistant I would explain the condition. Let them know it is not contagious. Make the patient aware that there’s several types and treatments for eczema, and to explain it. Lastly let the patient know that

Rothschild and Robert Depalma, they report their findings on the observation of the skin of a duck billed dinosaur regarding its’ scaled pattern and forming of scar tissue (Rothschild and Depalma 2013). Rothschild and Depalma introduce the issue of dinosaur skin pathology through the finding of damaged dinosaur skin through Lingham-Soliar ‘s (2008) report on the damaged skin and bite impression of the Psittacosaurus skin, which did not heal from the bite; indicating that the Psittacosaurus had died from either a scavenger or a predator (Rothschild and Depalma 2013). However Rothschild and Depalma (2013) focus their research
If I were the patient the three important things that I would put on my list would be introduce yourself, wash your hands, and tell me why you are here. I think it’s important for health care providers to introduce themselves so that were known who they are. It’s important for me to observe them wash their hands to stop the spread of infection. It is also important to me to know what their purpose of being here is.
