Answer to Question 1

2. Repositioning a client at risk for skin breakdown every 2 hours.

Rationale:
In evidence-based practice, the nurse integrates research findings with clinical experience, the client's preferences, and available resources in planning and implementing care. Evidence-based practice would support frequent repositioning to prevent skin breakdown in an at-risk client, demonstrating that this student is able to incorporate research into practice. Presenting papers about assessment or explaining what EBP is to someone else does not demonstrate the ability to put into practice that which is learned. Trying to find other problems to implement does not demonstrate that the nurse understands the benefits of EBP.

Answer to Question 2

1. Keep the skin clean, dry, and moisturize areas of dryness

Rationale:
The client with peripheral vascular disease who is at risk for impaired skin integrity should have meticulous skin care to keep the skin clean, dry, and well-moisturized to prevent skin breakdown. A low-protein diet is not beneficial for wound healing and may not be indicated for this client. A fluid restriction would dry tissues and not promote good skin turgor. Bed rest with legs elevated on pillows could increase the client's pain and would not help with preventing skin breakdown.

Certain topical medications such as clotrimazole and betamethasone are not approved for use in children younger than 12 years of age. They must be used very cautiously, as directed by a doctor, to treat any child. Children have a much greater response to topical steroid medications.
