Cyanosis, pallor, and jaundice all indicate the presence of systemic diseases. The most reliable areas for assessing these signs are nail beds, lips, sclerae, and conjunctivae, because these areas contain the least amount of pigmentation. As a result, changes in color can be easily identified. The nail beds, sclera, and lips are easily accessible; however, that is not a reason for the choice of the area during color assessment. These areas may not have high blood flow or a high amount of sensory receptors.

When assessing a 73-year-old female patient, the nurse found wrinkles, sagging breasts, and tenting of the skin, gray hair, and thick brittle toenails. The nurse knows that what normal changes of aging occur that can cause these changes in the integumentary system?
1
Decreased activity of apocrine and sebaceous glands, decreased density of hair, and increased keratin in nails
2
Decreased extracellular water, surface lipids, and sebaceous gland activity, decreased scalp oil, and decreased circulation
3
Muscle laxity, degeneration of elastic fibers, collagen stiffening, decreased melanin, and decreased peripheral blood supply
4
Increased capillary fragility and permeability, cumulative androgen effect and decreasing estrogen levels, and decreased circulation

On light-skinned individuals, cyanosis, or grayish blue tone, initially appears in lips, nail beds, earlobes, mucous membranes, palms of the hands, and soles of the feet. It is not as likely on the legs, wrists, or sclera.

Older adults do not have the same skin as younger adults, and there are many skin changes associated with aging that are normal. These include dry skin, wrinkling, and a decrease in turgor. Older adults may have decreased extracellular water, surface lipids, and sebaceous gland activity, leading to dry skin.
The aging integumentary system is predisposed to many changes, such as wrinkles, moles, age spots, dryness, thinning, and pigment changes in the hair and skin.
Increased wrinkling. Decreased peripheral circulation. Fingernails grow more slowly; increased thickening and yellowing of nails. Dry skin. Xerosis.

Which of the following are signs of aging in the integumentary system?

Changes in the integumentary system that occur with aging include: -Thinning and wrinkling skin due to decreased amounts of collagen and elastin in the dermis. -Decreased number of cells that produce pigment, or melanocytes, which protect against ultraviolet light.
