What is the PRIMARY goal when repositioning a patient at high risk for pressure injuries (PIs)?

Improve comfort

Offload pressure

Reduce medication

Prevent contractures

Offload pressure

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

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.

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

Use of pH-balanced cleansers

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

Hydrocolloid dressing

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

High-calorie diet with zinc supplementation

Which head-of-bed elevation is recommended to reduce pressure and shearing for pressure injury prevention?

45 degrees

30 degrees

50 degrees

35 degrees

30 degrees

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

30-degree lateral positioning

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

Offloading pressure

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.

They interfere with moisture-wicking properties.

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

The patient's weight and size

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

Use of pH-balanced, no-rinse cleansers

Which nutrient is crucial for wound healing in patients with stage 2 or greater pressure injuries (PIs)?

Iron

Calcium

Vitamin D

Protein

Protein

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

Calcium alginate dressing
