Answer to Question 1

friction
Dragging the patient across bed linen rather than lifting can cause skin damage from friction.

Answer to Question 2

A
The backrub should last for about 3 to 5 minutes, giving the nurse an opportunity to observe for skin abnormalities. Conversation should be kept to a minimum to enhance relaxation. Alcohol either as a rub or used as disinfectant is drying to the skin.
