Answer to Question 1

A
Body parts exposed to pressure have reduced circulation to affected tissue. Patients with limited caloric and protein intake develop thinner, less elastic skin with loss of subcutaneous tissue. Inadequate blood flow causes ischemia and breakdown. Patients with paralysis, circulatory insufficiency, or local nerve damage are unable to sense an injury to the skin.

Answer to Question 2

C
