Answer to Question 1

B
Pulling linens out from under a patient instead of rolling or lifting the patient causes a shearing type of skin tear. Use of a lift sheet, rolling the patient from side to side, and the use of the gait belt are recommended.

A
Urine and feces are the most common chemical irritants that cause skin breakdown.
