Answer to Question 1

A
Support surfaces aid in reducing pressure on the patient's skin. Promoting patient comfort may happen, but it is not the primary purpose of the support mattress. A support mattress does not increase patient circulation, nor does it facilitate patient movement.

Answer to Question 2

ischemia
Inadequate tissue perfusion results in inadequate delivery of oxygen and nutrients to cells, a condition called ischemia . This is caused by constriction of vessels or by occlusion (blockage) from clot formation.
