How long does it take for hyperemia (non-blanchable erythema) to set in?

30 min

45 min

60 min

120 min

In patients/residents with darker pigmented skin, how does hyperemia appear?

Red

Blue

Purple

All of the Above

What method listed is NOT a way to illuminate darker pigmented skin to look for pressure injuries?

Artificial Light

Natural Light

A pen light

Moistening the skin

What is a device that alerts staff to reposition a patient and automatically documents this into the medical record?

Repositioning monitoring system

EMR

Digital imaging

None of the above

What is a tool that can be used to assess skin breakdown and early-stage PIs? This tool can take a photo or video of the skin and detect metabolic abnormalities that are caused by partial or complete occlusion of dermal capillaries.

Repositioning monitoring system

EMR

Thermal Imaging

None of the above

The development of a pressure injury depends ONLY on the amount of time that area of tissue is exposed to unrelieved pressure. True or false?

True

False

Friction and shearing forces do not contribute to pressure injuries. True or false?

True

False. They cause PIs to develop as a result of the epidermal and dermal layers of the skin separating and tearing capillaries within tissue—leading to impaired perfusion.

Which of the following is NOT a risk factor to be considered when determining whether a patient/resident is at risk for developing a pressure injury?

There are five factors that a clinician should assess to determine the amount of risk a patient/resident has for developing a PI. Four of them are temperature, color, moisture level, and skin integrity. What is the fifth?

Turgor

Dolor

Rubor

Calor

What are some support surfaces that clinicians can provide to patients/residents at risk for developing pressure injuries?

Pillows

Donuts

Low-air loss/ alternating air mattresses

None of the above
