, 2. The nurse practitioner is conducting patient rounds in a
long-term care facility. As she talks with Mrs. Jones, she
notices that her arms and elbows are excoriated and the
skin is shearing. The nurse practitioner explains to the staff
that Mrs. Jones needs frequent assessment of her skin and
protection provided to prevent skin breakdown because:
1. Her lack of activity causes the skin to tear.
2. Fat has redistributed to the abdomen and thighs, leaving
bony surfaces in areas such as the face, hands, and
sacrum. This can result in injury.
3. She has lost weight and is in jeopardy of falling.
4. She picks at herself and causes skin breakdown.
