A pressure ulcer with necrotic tissue is unstageable. The necrotic tissue
must be removed before the wound can be staged. A stage I pressure ulcer
is defined as an area of persistent redness with no break in skin integrity. A
stage II pressure ulcer is a partial-thickness wound with skin loss involving
the epidermis, dermis, or both; the ulcer is superficial and may present as
an abrasion, blister, or shallow crater. A stage III pressure ulcer involves
full thickness tissue loss with visible subcutaneous fat. Bone, tendon, and
muscle are not exposed.

place when the client is admitted.
A client is taking lithium sodium (Lithium). The nurse should notify the health

White blood cell (WBC) count of
15,000 mm3 Negative protein in
the urine
Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) of
20 mg/dL Prothrombin of
12.0 seconds
White cell counts can increase with this drug. The expected range of the
WBC count is 5000 to 10,000 mm3 for a healthy adult. Urinalysis, BUN, and
