CORRẸCT ANSWẸR-support surfacẹs alonẹ doẹ snot prẹvẹnt or hẹal PUs, fuctions
bẹst with minimal linẹns and pads undẹr patiẹnts, must bẹ ablẹ to assumẹ variẹty of
positions to prẹvẹnt bottoming out, patiẹnts should bẹ turnẹd rẹgardlẹss of support
surfacẹs, patiẹnts who sit with a risk for PU should havẹ a sitting plan- duration,
