Question
Chapter 41.2, Problem 1QC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The areas that are at greatest risk of pressure ulcers.
Concept introduction:
The pressure ulcer is an ischemic ulcer that is resulted from the unmitigated pressure, friction, shearing forces, and moisture. It develops when the unrelieved pressure disrupts the normal blood flow to the skin and its underlying tissues. The external risk factors for the pressure ulcer include the prolonged pressure, immobilization, fracture, sedation, pain, lack of communication. It is also caused by some diseases, including ischemia, fecal or urinary incontinence, dehydration, malnutrition, and thin skin associated with aging.
