front 1 What is the PRIMARY goal when repositioning a patient at high risk for pressure injuries (PIs)? Improve comfort Offload pressure Reduce medication Prevent contractures | back 1 Offload pressure |
front 2 Which intervention is MOST appropriate for a bedbound patient at high risk of developing heel pressure injuries (PIs)? Using a water-filled mattress Floating the heels off the bed with a pillow Elevating the head of the bed Applying moisture barrier cream | back 2 Floating the heels off the bed with a pillow Placing a pillow under the heels effectively offloads pressure and prevents the development of PIs in bedbound patients. Whereas a water-filled mattress might provide some pressure relief but is not the most specific intervention for preventing heel PIs. |
front 3 Which factor is MOST critical in managing the skin of a patient with incontinence to prevent pressure injuries (PIs)? Application of cold compresses Frequent repositioning Increased caloric intake Use of pH-balanced cleansers | back 3 Use of pH-balanced cleansers |
front 4 Which dressing type is most appropriate for managing a dry, non-draining pressure injury (PI)? Transparent film dressing Hydrocolloid dressing Calcium alginate dressing Foam dressing | back 4 Hydrocolloid dressing |
front 5 Which nutritional strategy is MOST appropriate for a patient with a stage 3 pressure injury? Low-protein diet with vitamin C supplementation High-calorie diet with zinc supplementation High-fiber diet with increased water intake Low-fat diet with multivitamin supplements | back 5 High-calorie diet with zinc supplementation |
front 6 Which head-of-bed elevation is recommended to reduce pressure and shearing for pressure injury prevention? 45 degrees 30 degrees 50 degrees 35 degrees | back 6 30 degrees |
front 7 Which practice is recommended for repositioning a patient to minimize the risk of pressure injuries (PIs)? Prone positioning for extended periods Repositioning every 4 hours Elevating the head of the bed to 45 degrees 30-degree lateral positioning | back 7 30-degree lateral positioning |
front 8 What is the MOST appropriate initial treatment for a stage 1 pressure injury (PI)? Application of a hydrocolloid dressing Debridement Application of antibiotic ointment Offloading pressure | back 8 Offloading pressure |
front 9 What is the BEST reason to avoid excessive use of moisture barriers when using absorbent incontinence products? They interfere with moisture-wicking properties. They increase the risk of pressure injuries. They reduce odor control effectiveness. They may cause allergic reactions. | back 9 They interfere with moisture-wicking properties. |
front 10 What is a KEY factor in selecting a support surface for a patient with a high risk of pressure injuries (PIs)? The ease of cleaning the surface The cost of the support surface The ease of repositioning the patient The patient's weight and size | back 10 The patient's weight and size |
front 11 Which of the following practices is essential for preventing moisture-associated skin damage in patients with incontinence? Avoiding barrier creams Use of pH-balanced, no-rinse cleansers Frequent application of alcohol-based cleansers Limiting fluid intake to reduce incontinence | back 11 Use of pH-balanced, no-rinse cleansers |
front 12 Which nutrient is crucial for wound healing in patients with stage 2 or greater pressure injuries (PIs)? Iron Calcium Vitamin D Protein | back 12 Protein |
front 13 Which type of dressing is best suited for a pressure injury (PI) with heavy exudate? Transparent film dressing Hydrogel dressing Calcium alginate dressing Dry gauze dressing | back 13 Calcium alginate dressing |
