Tissue Integrity Practice Questions exam questions with answers correct/verified A+Tissue Integrity Practice Questions exam questions with answers correct/verified A+ When planning care for an older adult client who is at risk for developing pressure ulcers, what is the best option? Use a transfer device to lift the client up in bed. Apply cornstarch to keep sensitive skin areas dry. Massage the skin over the client's bony prominences. Elevate the head of the bed no more than 45°. - correct answers-Use a transfer device to lift the client up in bed. Using a lifting device prevents dragging the client's skin across the bed linens, which can cause abrasions. Apply cornstarch to keep sensitive skin areas dry. Cornstarch and baby powder can create dry, gritty debris that can abrade sensitive skin. Massage the skin over the client's bony prominences. Massaging the skin over bony prominences has no preventive value, and it can traumatize deep tissues. Elevate the head of the bed no more than 45°. Keeping the head of the bed no higher than 30° helps minimize shearing forces. Higher elevations can cause the skin to stick to the bed linens while deeper tissues slide downward. Working on an orthopedic unit and you have four clients, who is more at risk for skin breakdown? An adolescent who has a cervical fracture and is in a halo brace A young adult who has a femur fracture and is in skeletal balanced suspension traction A middle adult who has a fractured radius and an arm cast An older adult who has a hip fracture and is in Buck's traction - correct answers-An older adult who has a hip fracture and is in Buck's traction. According to evidenced-based practice, this client has multiple risk factors for skin breakdown: the aging process (decreased muscle mass, thin and fragile skin) and the limitation of movement due to traction. Therefore, this client is at the greatest risk for skin breakdown.
