Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
All healthcare facilities are charged with providing careful and appropriate skin care to clients. The Centers for Medicare/Medicaid Services (CMS) continues to stress the importance of pressure ulcer prevention, as well as meticulous skin and wound care. In most cases, facilities will not be reimbursed for treatment of pressure ulcers occurring while a client is in their care. It is vital for the nurse to assess for pressure ulcers and any other break in skin integrity when a client is admitted to any facility.
