Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1:Although it is true that pressure ulcers result from altered tissue perfusion, the diagnosis problem statement Impaired Tissue Integrity is more specific.
Rationale 2: Impaired Skin Integrity deals with the epidermal and dermal layers only and does not extend into the tissue.
Rationale 3: Because a stage III pressure ulcer involves tissues, not just skin, this client has criteria for using the NANDA nursing diagnosis problem statement Impaired Tissue Integrity.
Rationale 4: This client has already suffered injury, so this is not a Risk for Injury situation.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Microorganisms that are most likely to be responsible for wound infections live in viable tissue such as granulation tissue.
Rationale 2: Exudate contains a variety of components and will not give a good indication of what is causing the infection.
Rationale 3: Pus contains a variety of components and will not give a good indication of what is causing the infection.
Rationale 4: The skin at the edge of the wound contains skin organisms that may or may not be present in the wound itself.
