A patient with cognitive impairment does not reliably communicate discomfort or request help to reposition. Which explanation best describes how this may affect pressure injury risk?

  1. A

    It may make it harder to recognize, communicate, or act on discomfort and repositioning needs.

  2. B

    It always causes poor circulation.

  3. C

    It prevents pressure from affecting tissue.

  4. D

    It guarantees that the patient will be immobile.

A clinician is reviewing a person's overall pressure injury risk. Which approach best supports an individualized assessment?

  1. A

    Use one risk score as the sole basis for all care decisions.

  2. B

    Consider only whether the person is bedbound.

  3. C

    Consider the person's overall condition and use a structured tool as support for clinical judgment.

  4. D

    Assume a person with intact skin has no pressure injury risk.

A patient has poor nutritional intake and impaired circulation. Select all conclusions supported by these findings.

  1. A

    Both conditions may contribute to increased pressure injury risk.

  2. B

    The factors may combine rather than act in isolation.

  3. C

    These factors prove that a pressure injury is already present.

  4. D

    Only one of the two factors can affect risk at a time.

A patient is receiving sedating medication. Which statement best explains why this may matter when considering pressure injury risk?

  1. A

    Sedation guarantees that a pressure injury will occur.

  2. B

    Sedation may limit movement or response to discomfort, increasing risk.

  3. C

    Sedation improves tissue perfusion.

  4. D

    Sedation removes the need to assess pressure injury risk.

A patient has a healed history of pressure injury and no current visible skin damage. How should the history be considered?

  1. A

    A healed pressure injury is irrelevant to future risk.

  2. B

    A previous pressure injury can contribute to current risk assessment.

  3. C

    Only a current open injury matters.

  4. D

    A previous injury means a new pressure injury is certain.

A patient with a spinal cord injury cannot feel pressure-related discomfort below the waist. Why does this increase pressure injury risk?

  1. A

    The patient may not notice discomfort that would prompt a position change.

  2. B

    The patient's skin is necessarily more fragile.

  3. C

    The patient is unable to develop pressure injuries.

  4. D

    The patient will always have poor nutrition.
