Answer to Question 1

C
Because subcutaneous tissues such as muscle and fat are not regenerated but simply replaced by granular tissue, the staging of pressure ulcers is never reversed. Stasis ulcers are the result of the leakage of blood from veins beneath the skin. Pressure ulcers are caused when perfusion to the tissue is impaired by external pressure that causes tissue injury and death. Sufficient nutrition is essential in maintaining skin integrity.

Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
A Correct. Pain is not one of the SPICES categories; the P in SPICES stands for problems with eating or feeding.
B Incorrect. Confusion is the C in SPICES.
C Incorrect. Evidence of falling is the E in SPICES.
D Incorrect. Incontinence is the I in SPICES.
