Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
When a client requires frequent dressing changes, Montgomery straps or large binders can be used to avoid repeated tape removal and subsequent skin irritation with each dressing change, but not avoiding blood clots within the blood vessels or minimizing mobility of the abdominal muscles.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Immobility contributes to skin breakdown. Older age, not younger age, contributes to skin breakdown. Insufficient, not high, caloric intake contributes to skin breakdown. Inadequate hydration level contributes to skin breakdown.
