Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C
The six subscales of the Braden Scale are sensory perception, activity, mobility, moisture, friction and shear, and nutrition.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, E
Soapless bathing, tepid water, and moisturizers twice daily are recommended to prevent skin tears. Heavy soaps and hot water dry out the skin increasing the risk of skin tears. Lifting sheets are recommended as are the use of long sleeves and long pants to protect the extremities.
