●● When moving a resident in bed, a lift or turning sheet may be used to

A.atrophy.
B.shearing.
C.infections.
D.contractures.
Answer: B.shearing.
, Shearing occurs when the fragile skin of an elderly resident sticks to the
surface while being pulled across a sheet or bedding. Shearing causes
skin tears and open wounds on the skin. These wounds, like a paper cut,
can be painful. They may also be difficult to heal and the skin opening
increases the resident's risk of infection. Preventing skin tears is
important. When a resident must be moved in bed, it is best to lift the
resident with a lift sheet or draw sheet instead of sliding or pulling
against the bed linen.
●● A resident who must stay in bed is at risk for developing
A.dementia.
B.arthritis.
C.footdrop.
D.Parkinson's disease.
Answer: C.footdrop
Residents who must stay in bed are less active and are at risk for many
health problems. When a person is lying in bed, the feet tend to point
downward, which in that position for a long period causes shortening of
the muscles in the calf, called "foot drop". This change becomes a
problem when the person is able to walk because the ankle is unable to
flex to the functional position necessary for walking. A footboard helps
to prevent this by keeping the feet in proper alignment. Range of motion
(ROM) exercises are also helpful.Residents who must stay in bed and
are less active also at greater risk for health issues such as pneumonia,
pressure ulcers and constipation.
