This means you will be able to list some of the structures (anatomy) of the skin and describe why it is present (its physiology).

2. Discuss potential alterations in skin integrity

This means that you will be able to explain what can happen when the skin is injured.


3. Demonstrate the knowledge and skill related to performing effective hand hygiene

This means that you will be able to list the steps of proper handwashing technique in a medical setting.
