Answer to Question 1

nursing judgment
Evidence-based practice requires good nursing judgment; it is not finding research evidence and blindly applying it.

Answer to Question 2

D
Water mattresses are no longer used regularly because they harbor organisms in the water; leaks in the mattress are risky for patients with open wounds; and the structural integrity of the building does not always support the weight of the mattress. Air mattress reduce shear and friction and so are a good choice for this patient. Air surface beds are equipped with a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) switch to instantly lower the head section from an elevated position and to deflate the mattress to provide a firm surface for chest compressions. Follow the manufacturer's directions regarding the temperature of the water. Proper water temperature prevents loss of body heat as the patient lies on the mattress.
