Answer to Question 1

B
Pulling linens out from under a patient instead of rolling or lifting the patient causes a shearing type of skin tear. Use of a lift sheet, rolling the patient from side to side, and the use of the gait belt are recommended.

Urine and feces are the most common chemical irritants that cause skin breakdown.
