Which statement is most true in defining the term “pressure injury”?

A pressure injury is an open wound over a bony prominence that is caused by the presence of friction or shear.

With increased nutritional intake

What is NOT a primary objective for managing pressure injuries?

Changing the wound dressing more frequently

Reducing pressure

Managing moisture

Reducing friction and shear forces

What are the most common areas for development of pressure injuries?

Heels and elbows

Coccyx and sacrum

Heels and coccyx

Back of the head

What is the most important factor in developing pressure injuries?

Poor nutrition

Friction and shearing forces

Age

Unrelieved pressure
