Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Medical devices that are commonly associated with increased risk for pressure ulcers include masks, orthotics, tubing, immobilizers, stockings or boots, nasogastric tubes, cervical collars or braces, and tracheostomy tubes and ties. People who are unable to move around independently are at high risk for pressure ulcers, not those who move and participate in physical activities.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Persons with darkly pigmented skin have a higher incidence of serious pressure ulcers. Nevi, sun exposure, and fail skin are related to cancer, not pressure ulcers.
