Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, D
The Braden scale ranks the patient on the risk categories of sensory perception, moisture, activity, mobility, nutrition, and friction and shear. The scale does not include cognition.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, E
A focused wound assessment includes an evaluation of the wound's location, size, and color; presence of drainage; condition of the wound edges; characteristics of the wound bed; and patient's response to the wound or wound treatment. The patient's pain level would be documented with his/her pain assessment.
