A nurse is using the Braden scale to predict the pressure-ulcer risk for a client in a
long-term care facility. Using this scale, which of the following parameters should
the nurse evaluate?
1. incontinence
2. mental state
3. nutrition
4. general physical condition - ANSWER- Nutrition ; nutrition, sensory perception,
moisture, activity, mobility, and friction and shear are the parameters of the Braden
scale for determining a client's risk for developing pressure ulcers. Incontinence,
mental state, and general physical condition are parameters on the Norton scale.
A nurse is caring for a client who is immobile. The nurse should recognize that
immobility places the client at risk for which of the following health alterations?
1. increased intestinal motility
2. respiratory alkalosis
3. decreased cardiac output
4. hypocalcemia - ANSWER- Decreased cardiac output ; with immobility, the
heart rate increases to compensate for increased venous pooling. Hypoventilation
will lead to CO2 retention and respiratory acidosis.

Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?

1. sodium
2. calcium
