Answer: If a person has blue lips or fingers (cyanosis), he knows there is some internal problem. If the nurse notices yellowing skin (jaundice), he knows there is some issue with the liver filtering out bile. If he notices inflammation of the papillary layer (dermatitis), he know it could be an infection from a bug bite or injury. Could spot bruises or hematomas to locate spots of injury. Vitiligo- could tell if a person's melanocytes are being attacked.
